How We Met

College Game Day and Blackbird Ordinary

We officially met at the first Gator football game of 2010 while tailgating. Our group of friends spent a lot of time together, and I had the BIGGEST crush on him (I'm talking blush when he spoke to me kinda crush). Looking back we spent a good amount of time together that year without even realizing it, living separate lives. Once Chris graduated (I was a Freshman while he was a senior) we didn't see each other again for 3 years. Fast forward to Summer 2013- I was in Miami celebrating a friends birthday (thanks Cristy!) when we decided to head out to Blackbird Ordinary after dinner. It was your typical girls night- too many jalapeño pisco sours and 90's pop music. We were having a blast to say the least. All of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I notice this blur of a person coming up to greet me. The blur was Chris. He was out having his own celebratory night- finishing his MBA program. I spilled an entire rum and coke on him (it even got in his shoes- talk about embarrassing). The rest is really history- that year we celebrated 2 graduations, one giant move to another country, and the start of our wonderful relationship.
