A + K

We met at a mutual friends goodbye party. I was very heartbroken by passed relationships, but seemed to have a very strong attraction to Alex at this party because I did not want to leave him alone. We continued to chat after the party and I (Katie) decided to invite Alex down to a San Diego trip for my birthday with my girlfriends. Could this be love or fate? Turns out some of Alex's best friends have their birthday just 1-2 days before mine and they were in San Diego at the same time. Not only was Alex in the same city, on the same weekend, but they were also staying at the same hotel that weekend. It must have been fate because we ended up spending the whole weekend together and after that trip decided to start dating. Alex decided our first date should be on the Fourth of July and take me to his dads shop to work on a boat where I unexpectedly, met his dad on the first date. After the first date, the connection felt so natural and like something I have never felt before. Later would I find out he was the love of my life.
