you & me

I first saw a James Franco lookalike in 2011 at Finn MacCool's Bar on the Ave. I instantly had a crush. I worked down the street and would make a point to get drinks after my shift to see him. We were very awkward and nervous around each other. Years passed, I had moved to Nashville, TN., and I came home for the Fourth of July. I had a fresh pixie cut and was feeling a little self-conscious about my new hair choice. My best friend Ellen and I went into McGilvra's to get a drink and who happened to be bartending: Nick Taylor. I was instantly smitten again. He complimented my hair and made me feel confident, beautiful, and that it was okay to take risks. A few months passed and I came home for New Years Eve and made Ellen call him to see what he was up to. We met up around midnight, had our first kiss, and I went back to Nashville. A few more months passed, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. I pulled a bold move and invited him to help me move across country on an epic road trip from Nashville to LA. He was bold back and said yes. That road trip was our first date, we fell in love, and the rest is history!
