How We Met

I was so excited to tell everyone that we are engaged that I forgot to tell you how we met. No journey is complete without its origins. So here it goes...

Ken and I met New Year's Eve 2007 through a mutual friend. Our friend Wykeenia had been telling us we needed to talk for sometime; I don't think either of us really put much stock into it. I was still hanging on to past relationships, and who knows what Ken was up to at that time. What is most interesting about our meeting is that Ken and Wykeenia worked at the same place for only two days. I spent almost every day or weekend at Wykeenia's and Ken and she kept in touch through emails. Ken often gave Wykeenia new recipes to try out, and I was always around to taste them.

Anyhoo, Ken and I exchanged pics through Wykeenia, and I got his telephone number. I didn't call, but Wykeenia and I were going to ring in 2008 together. Wykeenia called Ken, while I was still awake, to see what he was up to. He had worked that night and was pretty tired, but he managed to stay up and talk for a while. It was interesting to find out that Ken was younger than me but decided that I would not let that hinder me from getting to know him. From then on we talked every night for a month until two o'clock in the morning or until one of us fell asleep (usually Ken).

A couple of weeks into the late night phone calls, we decided to meet in-person. Since our schedules were completely opposite, lunch was the best time to do so. However, each time we set something up, I had to cancel because of work. After close to a month, we finally met for drinks at On Tap. I was running a few minutes late and scurrying across the parking lot. Ken, was sitting in his car watching me hurry and planning his casual entrance.

We hit it off and the rest is OURstory!
