One Year
A little over a year ago, I started spending time with a girl I’d met just once while we were in school together at Brown. On a whim, I invited her over for “a dinner party I was planning” and when she accepted, I then had to scramble to actually invite other guests, too! [Cooking was no problem, though]. ;)
Despite the long roundtrip on the subway for her, I leveraged the big TV in my apartment as a reason for her to come over and watch the Celtics in the playoffs.
Apparently, she liked me. [Update: And still does!)
And I her.
Today, marks one year together and I’m still as excited about us now as I was last May 19. It’s been a really fun year, despite the stress of my rollercoaster life as a startup founder and hers as a student living in NYC.
Some of my favorite moments have been on the beach at home on Cape Cod, running races and doing a triathlon together, cooking in our tiny apartment, teaching Daisy to surf and snowboard for the first time (yes, this was actually fun!), seeing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs play ‘Maps’ acoustic at Radio City Music Hall…
…but still, the most vivid moment was a year ago today, sitting on a bench watching the sunset together from the tip of Manhattan.
