I met Jim through the most romantic, modern, and undeniably 21st-century way—a dating app. It was love at first swipe. After chatting for a while, soon enough, our first date took place in a tiny Greek café in Hoboken. I was so nervous, I couldn’t even touch the delicious pita bread and hummus in front of me… even though I was starving. Jim, being the absolute mind reader he is, could see right through me and was ridiculously patient as I fumbled over my words. By the end of the date, we had walked around the block ten times talking about everything— our likes, dislikes and dreams. That's when I realized I’d met someone I genuinely wanted to spend more time with. Months later, we were exploring all over New York together—a real tale of two islands. One of our adventures ended with Korean fried chicken (our shared favorite), followed by a stroll through Flatbush where we vented about the joys and chaos of working in healthcare. Naturally, my sweet tooth kicked in after dinner. We passed an Insomnia Cookie shop, and without a word, Jim, ever the mind reader, knew exactly what I wanted. Sitting in his car, sharing warm chocolate chip cookies and listening to our favorite TV show soundtracks, I realized: this is my forever best friend. Fast forward to today, and here we are; still exploring, still laughing, still cookie-hunting together, and now planning a future I can’t wait to live. I thank God every day for guiding me to the kindest, most patient, smartest, and funniest partner I could ever ask for. Welcome to our journey, everyone… stay tuned!
