In full disclosure, Eric and I had met a few times before this at UNH parties, but it hadn't been the right time for our story to really begin. But I'll take you wayyyy back to the Summer of '14....

It was late August and UNH classes hadn't started yet. My apartment senior year was all about the location--it was downtown and above The Knot, one of the only three bars on UNH campus. It was a peaceful summer evening in Durham and I was walking back to my apartment from a pre-classes meeting on campus. Naturally, I decided that on the way back to my apartment I should stop into the The Knot to see if anyone I knew was hanging out downstairs.

This is where I found Eric and we struck up a conversation, mostly about our mutual friends, and had a good time! We left this conversation with each other's phone numbers and plans to hang out when everyone came back to UNH -- and that's exactly what we did :) We would meet up at Scorps for Kick the Keg and Libby's for Dollar-Drinks, and dance the night away to the Top 40 hits played by DJ Downstairs!

I can't help but add a romantic aside I learned later - Eric had been interested in me from those few times before I mentioned and he was hoping to run into me at The Knot that night! I am so glad he did!

I'd say the rest is a happy blur of dating - one of our first dates was autumn apple picking, Eric said he liked to pick apples but didn't like to go alone...SO CUTE! Eventually I graduated and got a job in Boston like Eric, so we moved to the big city together in the fall of 2015 for our next Chapter...
