Two Years

This Sunday will be Abe & I’s second wedding anniversary.

I thought it would be fun to share how we met and some photos of the beginning of our relationship!

So, back in 2009 Abe and I were both working at a hospital in Phoenix. He was finishing up his residency and I was working as a nurse assistant. The unit I worked on was very unique. We were a very tight group who really enjoyed each others company both at work and outside of the hospital.

One night in early April some of the night shift staff put together an evening out for drinks in Tempe. My friend Rikki and I went together. Shortly after meeting up with the group, Abe came over to introduce himself to us. Even though we both worked in pediatrics, Abe and I had never officially met. So, he introduced himself and right away I thought he was really sweet.

We decided to head over to another bar but because of our large group, we got spit up. After several phone calls and a cover charge paid to the wrong bar, Abe finally made it to the right location. He and I continued chatting, drinking, and dancing the rest of the night.

At the end of the night, he walked Rikki and I to her car where we exchanged phone numbers and said goodbye.

We met up for drinks the following weekend as our official first date, just the two of us. We had a great time together just talking and getting to know one another. I knew really early on that this guy was really special and I wanted to spend a lot of time with him.

We went on several dates together over the next couple months and he even planned the best birthday party for me!
