They say you meet someone when you least expect it. Chris and I met as neighbors at our apartment complex due to my lovely little dog...Murphy and a few supposed barking indiscretions. I must admit I had my eye on him for a while and later discovered that it was mutual, but how would the two meet to share anything more than a passing glance and hello? Quite simply ...knock on his door and introduce myself. So that's just what I did. Using the guise of inquiring about my dog and the supposed barking, I marched over to his door with Murphy (I needed moral support) and with a deep nervous breath KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...we talked forever that first night. I found Chris to be witty, smart, charming and thoughtful and have been inseparable since. I am so lucky to have literally met the man of my dreams as the boy next door when I was least expecting it.
