The year was 2020. A pandemic swept the nation, but when you see a new guy move into your apartment building, you have to strike up a conversation! Who would have thought that 3 years later, he would ask me to marry him under the midnight sun in Reykjavik, Iceland. Unbelievable that elevator small talk could turn into a lifetime of post-night shift breakfast dates, long walks through costco, and trips around the globe, but I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else.
