Cue Opening Credits

Perhaps this should have been the first order of blog business, but I chose to dive right into the action of our life rather than premiere with the mundane. It's like in Law & Order when the first scene shows a women being murdered and the silhouette of a man wiping the blood off a knife. Then the scene breaks, you have a chance to breathe, and the familiar L&O tune begins accompanied by the opening credits. After **dunt dunt, the episode resumes and you can settle back into the crook of your couch.

So, consider this is opening credits. I am letting you take a breather (because I know the last posts were extremely intense) and filling you in on the characters of this blog.

In order to properly narrate this story, I must back up to the May 23, 2005 when Danny and I met at an internship in NYC. We were carefree and having lots of fun together gallivanting through the streets of New York. Not only did we start falling deeply in love with each other, but we also started to fall deeply in love with our city.

When the seasons started to change, we returned to our respective universities, him-University at Albany, her-New York University. We continued weekend visits and our adventures until January 2006 when I left Danny to go out to California for a year and a half.

Throughout that year and a half there was lots of growth for the both of us- emotionally, spiritually, perhaps even physically. We communicated solely through snail mail and the occasional recorded cassette tape.

Finally, I returned in July 2007 and our relationship amazingly picked up right where it left off. November 2007 he proposed on the Brooklyn Bridge and I accepted. May 25, 2008, exactly three years after we met, we were married in the Manhattan LDS Temple.

Since then, we've been creating memories and loving life. Danny loves the Jets, video games and eating. Jennifer loves reading, sleeping and finding good deals. We both love free stuff, exploring Manhattan, meeting new people and trying new things.
