When Harry Met Sally.....

....or HK met ZC!

I'm sure you're all dying to know the story of how we met and fell madly in love, right? Actually, it's not a very movie-worthy story, and is rather brief, but fun nonetheless.

HK moved to my middle school in the 8th grade. I can recall the morning that he walked into my choir class with his identical twin brother. That immediately made them the topic of conversation for days. It turned out that we had a couple other classes together, and over the next weeks we became pretty good friends. I made the mistake of mentioning to my BFF at the time that I had a little crush on him. Wrong move because the next thing I know he and my BFF were an item (oh the perils of young love!). Actually it was something I got over pretty quickly, and then we entered high school where our paths didn't cross again until senior year.

I remember seeing him that first day in Calculus and thinking he'd really matured over the years, and he was looking pretty good. I evidently ruined any chance we may have had with some embarrassing comment about his finger tapping. Senior year came and went, and he continued to loathe the day I was born (apparently I REALLY embarrassed him).

After graduation I (briefly) went away to college, and HK attended college close to home. I ended up moving back home, and one fateful Saturday at Best Buy, HK and I ran into each other*. We got to chatting, I forced my phone number upon him, he called, we went on our first date, and that's where it all began.

We had an amazing 4 year run before we got engaged during a trip to Myrtle Beach. We bought a house and got married (which was quite a fun day if I say so myself) a little over a year later, and are now living the dream and coming up on our 4-year anniversary. It's hard to believe that we've been together for 9 years, but we both agree it's been the most amazing 9 years of our lives. See, not only are HK and I husband and wife, but we're the best of friends. Sure we have the occasional spat now and then, but for the most part we enjoy every second of every day with each other. There's nobody else I would rather share this journey with, and I thank God for blessing me that fateful Saturday in Best Buy........

(*That's the polite way of saying I caught him looking at my butt)
