We'd actually shared the same group of friends for years, taking multiple trips up North (just ask Mike how well I ski if you want a good laugh) and many awesome dinners together- but we just weren't a couple. Finally four years ago at a splendid New Years Eve party, my best friend told me to kiss the guy she'd been hearing about FOREVER. Four huskies, a house, and a beautiful baby girl later, I'd say she was right.
