Celeste: The first time I met Steve I remember a Happy hour at Rock Bottom. Kate took it upon herself to introduce me to each one of her then single guy friends (thanks Kate! :). Steve happened to show up at happy hour as well (he rarely graced us with his presence). However, shortly after my arrival (I got lost many times along the way; I was new in town) he announced he had to go home and pack for his skiing trip. I remember heckling him for not partying with the rest of us ;) Stephen: Well...my perspective about how we met:  It started very quickly with an introduction at a happy hour, which I promptly left right after meeting her.  :)  I needed to prepare for the slopes.  She seemed nice & I loved the curly hair for sure, but that’s about all I had to go on.  Little did I know that I didn’t have to worry about not getting to talk to her that day.  We ended up meeting one other time for a movie which went pretty well.  Conversation went very smoothly & there was a comfort level that we both had with each other from the get go.  I think that is definitely part of both of our personalities, but I’m guessing it had something to do with us coming together as well.  What really did it for me though was when I tagged along to Karaoke one night.  She paged through the big book of songs like a pro.  Apparently karaoke brings all kinds of shower-singers out of the woodwork...who knew.  She sang Black Horse & a Cherry Tree while she strutted around the bar with the cordless mic.  She had an amazing quiet confidence about her that drew me to her.  After that, I knew that if I had a type, she was it.  I love hearing her belt out Janis Joplin too...now that’s impressive.
