"How We Met" (told from Jonathan's Perspective)
We have been together almost since the day
we first met.
It was three days before Valentine's Day, and we were both at a bar for
the German Club of UNC (Univ. of Northern Colorado).
Every Monday night, the UNC German club
gets together at a bar called Down Under to practice German in an
informal setting. Immersion is, after all, the best way to learn a
language.
Down Under is really a hole. It is! It's
actually it's a hole in the ground under a King Soopers (grocery store),
and you have to go around the backside of the store to even figure out
how to get to the stairs, which then get you into the bar.
Anyway, I was having a Valentine's Day party for people who didn't have
anyone (in particular) to be with on Valentine's Day.
When I invited one of Carrie's friends,
Carrie asked, "You're not going to invite me?" and so it began...
She came to the party, and she found out
how great I was. (Just kidding.)
She and I found out that we had a lot in common (outside of the fact
that we both spoke German) and we started dating.
I knew from when I first met her that she
was leaving for Germany in September for a year abroad, so we weren’t
going to be that serious.
We proved to be inseparable. |
