Our Story
Kat says:
First and foremost, let me say that Brian is perfect. One hundred percent perfect, minus a smidgen or two.
I'm still astounded at my good fortune.  Both my family and best friends said to me within an hour of meeting him that they knew that I had found  the "one".

I don't know if there is a "one", all I know is that we met and never looked back. It was that immediate.

I always used to get goose bumps when really great couples told stories of how they met and fell in love and you could see that special something in their eyes no matter how long they had been married. With Brian, I feel that I've somehow miraculously found that same love.

Actually, Brian and I had sort-of met before, several times it turns out, but as he puts it 'we just weren't ready yet'.  In a very big city, we lived within a couple of miles of each, belonged to the same environmental group, rode the same train into work, and even ran in the same circle of friends.  But somehow, we just never managed to really meet.  

My latest romance had just ended when a good friend of mine, Richard, informed me that he had found the "perfect man for me."  Yeah right, I thought, I've only heard that about a zillion times and each time the "perfect" guy is (I'll be kind) less than perfect or worse a Republican (hee-hee).  You KNOW what I'm talking about.  Anyway, I said to my friend that I'd be willing to meet him, but not thru a formal event like a time-consuming, nail-biting, check my cell phone and pray for a saviour call, date.  My friend said no prob, the "perfect guy" is having a party and I should come.  Sounded good to me, but I had to invite a couple dozen of my friends just in case.  So, the day of the party comes and I have just flown in from a football game and I'm as grimy, and not in the mood to meet someone, as can be.

Brriing, brrrinng, goes my phone.  My good friend Teri is on the line saying, 'the party is great, where are you?'  Then the rest of my friends start calling and now I know that I have to show.  So I get to the address, but can't find the party.  I'm just about ready to give up and go throw myself into my bed where I really want to be when a door opens and loud music spills out into the street.  A-ha. I walk up into the party and Richard and Teri yell for me to come meet Brian.  I walk up and remember thinking, 'please let that be him, please let that be him'.  It was.  Later in the evening, while I was holding an audience spellbound telling a long story about my worst date ever, Brian walks up and tries to talk all the women into joining him in the hot tub. I politely decline, but Brian decides to stay and talk and eventually asks me out on a date.  The funny part is that he hadn't even put two and two together that I was the "perfect girl" that Richard had told him about.

Like I said he IS perfect....our first trip was down to Key West where I realized I had fallen in love with him.  He is passionate about his causes, adventurous to a fault, sexy as can be, and very romantic.  In the last 12 months we have been on a dozen trips and I can't begin to tell you about the huge effort he goes thru to make special events amazing.  Valentine's day saw my office covered in flowers and the engagement ring he gave me was custom-made with Mayan hieroglyphs that translate to the words communication and adventure.  He worked 3 months on the ring, contacting archeologists and ring carvers, and told me that those two words symbolize our love.

Most of all I love his companionship....
his daily kindness, humor, and ability to put up with me (no small feat as many of you are aware) are what make me realize and appreciate what a gem he is.

Kat is the best...she is a princess and I will forever draw her baths and bring her chocolate.
