How we met

First comes school in Boston, then comes moving to L.A., then comes moving to NYC, then comes busy schedules, then FINALLY comes marriage.

It was the first day of grad school and I (Kim) was running late (it's a Pelkey thing). I scurried into class and grabbed the first seat I could find. It wasn't until we went around the room telling everyone our names that I noticed CJ and he noticed me. We were two of a very small number of English speaking students sitting in that class and he seemed like a funny guy. The next week I went and sat next to him. I asked him if he could take notes for me the next class because I was going to be out of town for my sister's wedding. I slid him a ripped corner of paper with my email on it. CJ politely slid the paper back to me with the word "No" on it. Classic CJ. After that we may or may not have got a few drinks every week before/after class. It took us eight months to figure out if we were just friends or more.....one day CJ decided to be sweet and pulled out that ripped corner of paper that I gave to him months earlier. He told me that he had always kept it with him. So needless to say we decided on the "more".

For all the days along the way
