Our story ...

16 May 2013




Since today is a very special day I decided to share our "how we met " story with you.  Eleven years ago after a night out on the town with some girlfriends I ended the night at a local bar named The Mix. My older brother Richard and his girlfriend (at the time) were there with a bunch of their friends. As I went around and said my hello's I took the chair right next to a slender boy wearing a Radiohead t-shirt , worn out jeans and flip flops. I had never met this boy before however we chit chatted over some beers about music, boxing and what we wanted to be when we grew up. Since it had been a very long night for me I was hungry and in walked the pizza guy who normally ventured into bars around midnight, this boy who I kept forgetting his name asked me if I wanted to share a pizza and I said "oh my gosh yes please!" We shared a medium pizza and parted ways. I left not remembering that boys name. A couple of weekends later we met up with my brother at the same bar and in the middle of my beer in walks "that boy" he took the seat next to me and we chatted for a bit before he left to meet his other friends. We exchanged names and numbers and made plans to get together that Saturday - his name was Carlos ♥
Saturday rolled around and we decided to go see a movie and to have a late dinner. He picked me up at my parents house , normally my Mom even in my early 20's needed to meet whom ever I was going to go out with. So in walked Carlos wearing a light blue button up , navy slacks and brown J.Crew loafers. He introduced himself talked to my Mom for a quick minute then we went on our first date to go see The Others and ended the night at a more quiet bar. After dropping me off , my Mom who normally would wait up for me and we would eat cereal together and chat about my night (I miss those nights). It was that night (our first date) that my Mom said to me " Myrna I know you're not gonna believe me but that's the boy you are going to marry!" Yep she knew even before I did. I knew that Carlos was a sweet guy that I had great conversations with but little did that 23 year old know that she had just had dinner with her future husband.

Today I celebrate ten years of the best decision I ever made. Thank you Carlos for choosing me to spend the rest of your life with. It's been an amazing ride and I can't wait to see what the next ten years will be like.
