I can still remember the first time I saw Fernando. He introduced himself, and after the casual chatting we felt very comfortable in each other's company. For the rest of the evening, we found ourselves locking eyes on more than one occasion. The next morning my friend Kristin and I were talking and she said "you are glowing, smiling ear to ear. I said "this is the man I am going to marry!!" Not long after our first meeting we met again and ended up spending the rest of the weekend together. The weekend flew by and soon enough we were back to our crazy work schedule.  A few days later, my phone rang and it was him! We spent hours chatting and from that day on we talked on the phone daily, and saw each other on occasion. We fell in love that first weekend and our love has continued to grow! He is my best friend and together we have been through so much. We couldn't even begin to imagine what life would be like without one another!
