Weddings do make love :)

The story of meeting my boyfriend Eric still cracks me up. I decided I want to publish this all while I remember it...documenting my feelings as I remember them will definitely come in handy later on :)

My live in boyfriend and I broke up early May, we were still living in the same house while trying to find new places for ourselves...this situation is incredibly stressful no matter how you cut it so when my friend Joe invited me to a wedding last minute (his girlfriend had to go to a funeral) I jumped at the chance to see my friends from New York, but more importantly I needed a break from the tense housing situation.

I flew to New York, and scheduled a business lunch early in the day friday. Steve, Joe, Eric and Steves date all came and scooped me up and we began the journey to Jersey Shore for the wedding. Steve is my best friend from college, he had introduced me to Joe several years earlier when both Joe and I were living in Miami and we had remained friends ever since. I had never met Eric though, which was odd considering I knew all of Steves high school friends. We spent the ride laughing and joking and I was able to find out why Eric didn't have a date (long an complicated story and irrelevant. :)

Blah blah blah, I didnt get to spend nearly as much time getting to know Eric as I would have liked to because he was in the wedding and spent the entire day on Saturday doing groomsman things. I did however manage to make him a watered down iced coffee because the pre-made iced coffee had sugar already added and I knew that with his Diabetes that would NOT work.

Anyway...the night of the wedding I took it upon myself to hang around him as much as possible. I just thought he was incredibly positive (and not to mention SO adorable). So this picture is at the wedding...ironically, I think I got into a fight with someone over that hat he is wearing (they tried to steal it from him).

Anyway...blah blah blah...Eric was a complete gentleman and we exchanged numbers. He was moving from San Francisco (he just graduated from Berkeley business school) and was joining a start up in Boulder. I texted him on my way to the airport "I had a really good time with you this weekend, I hope you stay in touch". I just really like this guy and was sad to be leaving him.

Anyway...he stayed in touch :)... 1 trip to Tampa over July 4th, and 2 weeks later I went to Boulder and we decided to give this "distance relationship" a chance.
