How We Met

It all started at the bar...

During our senior year of college at Manhattanville and Iona, the thing to do was to go to the bars on Mamaroneck avenue. One night at Hudson Grille in the middle of January, my group of friends were talking to a group of guys they knew locally. Being the chatter box I am, I try to talk to one of the guys, who just so happens to be the quietest one of the group, Mike, LOL. Mike, being so shy, barely talked and I rambled on and remember saying to myself at the end of the conversation, I think I did all the talking. During the next couple of months we would see each other in passing and just say hi or wave. ( Corny, I know LOL ) Then one night in June, right after graduation, Brother Jimmy's was poppin' and Arianna and I were there drinking. ( This night is still a little blurry lol ) From across the bar she recognized Mike and we said hi. That night Mike asked to buy me a drink and we ended up talking the whole night and he asked for my number. I woke up the next morning and was friends with him on all social media and had a few texts from him. Throughout the next couple of months, we talked very little but then in September we happen to be at the same Giant game. Mike and I met for a drink and that's when we hit it off. We started dating and going on a few dates and by November it was official and it has been history since.

For all the days along the way
