Nic and Nat

Our adventure started on Friday April 5, 2013. Our best friends, Viri and Kevin,&nbsp;decided we both needed a best friend night. Separately, we all ended up at a local bar called The Usual. Kevin and I got there and found seats at the bar and ordered our drinks.&nbsp;Viri reached out and said hello and introduced her best friend&nbsp;Nicole. Nicole and I&nbsp;immediately started talking being sarcastic with one another. Unbeknownst to each other, we were flirting, but our best friends knew. &nbsp;It sounds cliché, but it just felt natural. She bought me a beer and gave me a hard time about drinking Bud Light. She went to buy another round and noticed I hadn't finished my beer yet. She asked me "do you always nurse drinks that people buy you" Oh that's when I knew I had a real sarcastic one in my presences.

 

We started talking about the upcoming “BuzzFest" concert and how she was going with her friends and she had a few extra tickets to sell. She told me if I was interested in the tickets to let Viri know and she would get word to her. I could tell she was a little guarded and playing it safe, so I made the first move and I whipped out my phone and told her “or you could just give me your number and I could call you.” She smirked,&nbsp;I knew she was impressed! We started texting with each other the next day and it quickly turned into a phone conversation. Being wrapped up in our conversation, I locked myself out of my car and my apartment. We laughed at the situation because it was hot outside and my phone was dying. She just happened to be in my neighborhood and came to my rescue with cold A/C and a phone charger in her truck. As we waited for Kevin to show-up with the spare key to my apartment, she asked me if I wanted to come down to Kemah for a Sunday Funday. &nbsp;This is why sunday’s are our favorite day of the week. 

 

We had a great time getting to know each at Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Shack. It was like we knew each other longer than we did. I remember the ride down to Kemah; the music was just right and the breeze felt great. After that weekend, we were smitten with each other. She asked me out for our first date on April 12th. While I was excited out our first date, in true Nicole fashion, she was nervous. I found out later that she had planned our great date with the help of her good friends Misty and Larisa. She was such a gentle-woman; she picked me up, opened doors, chivalry at its finest. &nbsp;We had dinner at BJ’s Brewery; she always teases me because I order a steak on our first date. As she says “who does that?!” She suggested we get our dessert to go. This is when I learned she always has a trick up her sleeve. She was so cute, trying so hard to impress me that she got lost. After finally getting good directions, we arrived at the Showboat Drive in movie theater. She brought out a bottle of Prosecco and a blanket. It was the most romantic date I have ever had. She made it so romantic and comfortable, I fell asleep! We still laugh about this, it is one of the best dates we both have had. &nbsp;

 

It's been 5 years of laughter, tears, fun times and great memories. We are each other’s #1 fan, team; each other’s rock. We’ve been on some great vacations but road trips are our favorite. At any given time, you will catch us singing and dancing with one another or speaking our love language of sarcasm to each other. Spending time with our families is important for the both of us. We make sure we carve out that time with them.

 

&nbsp;I can honestly say that this has been my favorite adventure and now we get to start a new one. The love we have for each other is raw honest. We laugh at the fact we met at a crusty bar, but The Usual forever changed our path and started our lifelong journey. We are each other’s lobsters. I can’t wait to see where this adventure takes us.

 

“Yeah, pretty much what she said” - Nicole
