Usually, Monday's are reserved for recovering from a weekend hangover, starting your weekly diet...again, begrudgingly heading to work, and asking the following question: is it really ONLY Monday?!! However, Monday, June 13th, 2016 was a particularly special day. The sun was setting over the Boston skyline, birds were chirping, and cars were honking as Kate Rose darted across the street to ask yet another stranger for directions. Matthew anxiously awaited his date outside Quincy Marketplace as he paced around checking fantasy baseball stats while trying to resist getting a pre-dinner slice of Regina's Pizza! The two would meet at the Ice Bar, where only the "coolest" people go to gather for a cocktail. He was immediately taken by the pocket size beauty who was dressed for winter in June (she is always cold and they were meeting at a bar made of ice), and her with his strikingly tall physique, amazing head of hair, and the kindest four eyes you ever did see! Matthew remained mute for the first half of their date, but that did not seem to deter Kate Rose. She carried the conversation for both of them. A delicious dinner in the North End followed, and the exchange was amazing, or at least that is what they think. The music was so loud (they are old) that they could not hear a thing that either one of them were saying. Minor details! But, it was the third stop that really sealed the deal - Mike's Pastry. They ordered cannoli's, and sat outside on a bench placed across from a fortune teller. Although they didn't get their fortune read, I think we all know what she would have predicted...a life full of love and happiness together. From that date on, they were inseparable. They fall in love more and more each day, and spend most of their time eating, laughing, and dancing in the living room! The Beginning.... P.S. The cannoli's were delicious!
