"Four more years! Four more years!"

On March 22nd, 2001 I met my wife through my first and only blind date. Our mutual friend setup a HUGE happy hour on a beautiful Thursday evening in downtown Houston at the Red Cat Jazz Cafe. It was meant to be a "safe" blind date because if we didn't like each other we had plenty of "fallback options". She told me she like urbandude.com. I made her an origami swan out of a club flyer. We've been together ever since.

The amazing thing about that night wasn't just two people finding their soulmates. Somehow we became part of a large group of friends that we're still close to. Four years later. Curtis, Jake, Dana, Falasz, Kim, Courtney. I met each of them that night. Two of them were at our wedding (the ceremony was only 4 people in Vegas). We still hang out on a regular basis. And we met them all on the same night. That was a great night...

To Sarah: thank you for getting better with age. I'm a very lucky guy.
