Last First Date

Girl born in NY. Raised in a family with a yard and a fence.

2 kids. 2 parents. And many, many pets.

Camp. College. Grad School.

Then came living the single life in NYC.

Doing all the things.

Making all the mistakes.

Having all the fun.

Searching for THE guy through it all.

Never dreamed of the wedding, or the career, or the house, or the family.

But the guy, always the guy.

Definitely didn’t want kids. Life was too fun for that shit.

After 33 years, still no guy. But there were approximately 500 Jdates. Which led me nowhere except to a shitload of incredible stories.

Then, the internet started catching up to me and my need for more dating sites. Match. Zoosk. Coffee Meets Bagel. Eharmony.

And then it happened. OKCupid.

One week week on the site and I met a guy. I started talking to this guy. He loved Phish. I love Phish. He was funny and super, super cute.

He didn’t own a calendar. He asked me on a date for “next Thursday”.

Thursday, was Valentine’s Day.

The last, first date I had, was on Valentine’s Day.

And on that day, I met my husband.

I kind of even knew it then.

That’s where my story begins, but it hardly ends there. That truly was just the beginning…
