We're so excited to celebrate with you!

We met during Charley’s first visit to Washington, DC. Mutual friends had introduced us all, and we hung out most of the weekend. It was great. However, our magical night happened when we both showed up in downtown DC with little interest in being there. We both had on oversized forest green jackets, dark washed blue jeans, and brown Birkenstocks with socks, which was totally unplanned. We were both uninterested, nonetheless we went along with the group to avoid being party poopers. I hung as long as I could, until I had had enough of the crowded club we were in and decided I was going to leave. As I went to say bye to everyone, Charley, shorter than the entire crowd looked up at me and said, “Can I come?” A helpless plea, I could see it in her eyes lol. That night we both left and went dancing at every establishment on U-Street. We had no idea that that night was the first of many dances, the first of many laughs, and the first day of our forever.
