Three Years

** Posted by Dave**


Most of you probably don't remember what you were doing around this time three years ago.


I do.

December 8th 2006 was a Friday, and the end of a crazy week. Just a week earlier I had received an official job offer from a very large, very cool multinational company to work in their Strategic Alliance division. Quite the opportunity. But by Sunday night I was not only conflicted but pretty sure I didn't want to take it. By Tuesday at 10AM, I had declined their offer to move to Manhattan and decided to stay at my current job.

By 12PM Tuesday, I had a ticket to Los Angeles for that weekend.

I left Friday evening for Los Angeles and had a nice, late dinner at the Coral Tree Cafe in Brentwood with a dear old friend I knew when I was in Los Angeles. I had the Roast Turkey Panini, and she the Caprese.

I asked her what she was doing that weekend. She said she was open to do anything. I played like I was "super busy" and might be able to fit some time the next night into my schedule. I'm cool/idiotic like that.

I dropped her off at her apartment. Our hug lingered.

She pretty much wanted me from that moment on.

It's been three years since the fateful weekend when Jess and I kinda-sorta-officially became an "item."

And it's been a blast.

So thanks Ray Ray, for awesoming up my life -- I'm glad that three years ago, things worked out how they did.

And so is Annalise.

Love,

D-Fu
