Stacie

We met in Fall of 2007 in Washington, DC. Stacie was participating in a domestic study abroad through Gonzaga University and American University. Lawrence was entering his final year of school at Howard University. On October 6th, Lawrence's friend Brandon, was celebrating his 22nd birthday at the club MCCXXIII (1223). Stacie had tagged along with one of her friends from the study abroad program who had been invited to the celebration. Being the only two who weren't going a little crazy, Stacie and Lawrence sat next to each other and spent some time talking (or rather shouting ) over the music casually. By the end of the night we both knew a connection had been made. For the first date Lawrence took Staice to dinner and to see Saw 4, her favorite genre of movie... horror. (For those of you who don't know, Stacie is deathly afraid of horror movies and spent the majority of the evening humming to herself and covering her eyes.) After being dropped back off at her dorm, Stacie spent the next two hours on the phone talking with Lawrence about the date, and watching Finding Nimo until she was able to finally fall asleep. Since then we have become the best of friends, and look forward to creating new and exciting memories together.
