How We Met

She was a small-town girl living in a lonely world. He was a city boy born and raised in South Detroit. No wait. That’s not right. He was a flatlander who followed the call that is best described in John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High”. She was a beautiful French girl trying to find her way in a foreign land. They both met as two heavenly bodies meet, traveling alone for an eternity only to catch a glimpse of one another for a fraction of a moment. But unlike these, their paths collided into one which leads to an unknown destination. The nature of which will remain unknown shows great promise given all the precious and memorable moments that have passed thus far. He had known that someone as rare as her could not be lost and risk being set adrift through the vastness of life alone.

After moving to California, Nick had felt the ever-pressing need for companionship. Meanwhile, Stephanie was focusing on school but was willing to give online dating one more shot. There was a match but was it right? After verifying each other's existence, they both immediately engaged in all sorts of adventures. Rock climbing in Yosemite, horseback riding, trips to the lake, camping on the beach, and skiing in Colorado were a few of many enjoyable moments that brought them closer together. Next, a new career opportunity for Stephanie and two cross-country relocations stimulated more growth and offered a look into the future. Ultimately, a Christmas letter and some sneakiness were the catalysts needed to jump start the next leg of their adventure. They quickly found themselves suspended in time on a quiet hillside overlooking a secluded section of French coastline. As a result, Nick and Stephanie are now ecstatic to share with friends and family the anticipation and enthusiasm of a voyage through the greatest gift bestowed on mankind, c’est la vie
