We met at Lysa Sullivan's house, I think. At a party, I think! The truth is that we've known each other so long and met under the most normal circumstances that neither of us really remember that specific moment. What I do remember is several years of short greetings and conversations leading to one night in September when he asked to walk me home from a birthday party in my neighborhood. When he had the nerve to ask me out and then the nerve to call (not text) me, I know he was a special kind of guy. I'm so happy I said yes.
