About Us...

In December of 2005 Eric and I met working together at an architecture firm in New York City. We were assigned to the same project and quickly hit it off as co-workers, friends and soon as a couple. Eric was smart, dependable, kind, and funny.  I admired his loyalty and dedication to work. He admired my positive energy, passion and enthusiasm for everything I did. We slowly learned we had a lot in common. We liked the same kind of music and loved going to concerts, we lived in the same neighborhood in Brooklyn, and we both loved Vietnamese food (well, food in general!) A little over a year after meeting we went on our first date. 

For our first date we had agreed to set aside a Sunday afternoon to hangout, but didn’t plan any further than that. On Sunday morning I was delighted that Eric called first thing in the morning with a plan for the afternoon. He said he would drive by my apartment to pick me up; we’d head to the grocery store, buy food, and head back to my place to cook lunch. I loved the simplicity of his plan; even though we had known each other for a while as co-workers, we never spent quiet time together alone and this seemed like the perfect first date. I was excited, but also a little bit nervous. What would I cook for him? Again, I was pleasantly surprised when Eric took the reins.  He suggested making penne ala vodka with chicken and moved through the store confidently gathering all the ingredients.  I remember the rest of the afternoon being like that, just relaxed and easy, helping Eric out when he needed something chopped, washed or mixed.  We can’t really even remember what we talked about, we just remember being happy in each other's company and excited to be taking our relationship to a more intimate level. To this day we love spending time together.  Even the simple moments in life, cooking on the weekends, running errands, watching TV, we have fun being around one another.  Eric always has a way of lightening the mood and making me laugh.  We have a really fun life together, filled with lots of laughter and so much love. We are excited to bring a child into this mix and to share with them all our love, laughter, and joy.
