Esposa

We should have met in a farmer's market or a bookstore, but oddly enough, it didn't work that way.  When neither of us was looking for romance, we met unexpectedly.  Our first date started at an Indian restaurant and continued at a local coffee shop where the conversation was incredibly easy. We quickly realized how many common perspectives and interests we shared, the foremost of which were cooking, travel, and exploring new things.  I started introducing him to farmer's markets, the Daily Show, and more. He initiated me into the wonderful world of what is now their favorite restaurant, an authentic Chinese place near his old apartment.  Soon we were spending Saturdays in his tiny apartment watching the week's Grey's Anatomy and cooking up a storm. He was calm but goofy with me, and I (usually a "big strong independent woman") took to leaning on him.  Together we've brought out the best in each other and helped each other relax.
