Today is Erik’s & my 3rd wedding anniversary! Erik & I first met in 2001 in San Francisco. I had been living there since 2000, and Erik grew up in the Bay Area. We were friends for about a year before Erik nervously asked me out on our first date. I had made it pretty clear a few months prior that I was interested in being more than friends, and, well, Erik wasn’t ready. So that night, when Erik said he wanted to talk to me, I rebuffed him a bit. He followed me about 3 blocks to a coffee shop, where he asked me on that first date. A few days later we met at the Embarcadero Cinema to see A Mighty Wind. I remember being extremely nervous, and also knowing that he was the one. After the movie we walked for hours. To North Beach….through Downtown…and back to my apartment in Alamo Square (totaling about 6 or 7 miles). I remember not wanting it to end, and having blisters on my feet! And then three years later, in April of 2005, I picked out a ring at the Union Street Goldsmith and we took the short walk to a park overlooking the bay, and Erik got on one knee and proposed. Then we were married on April 8, 2006, which was my parents 39th wedding anniversary, and Erik’s sister’s 30th birthday! Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad, and Happy Birthday Lauren! Shortly after our wedding, we made the move to CT. And life has been so good to us! I love you Erik, and I am looking forward to another year of growing older with you ; )
