We kept missing each other or at least that’s how it felt. As we think back about the pivotal moments that had to happen in order for our paths to cross, we know it was truly the stars aligning. Many times, we worked in similar places, knew similar people, but we never intersected. Little would I know that a Philz coffee delivery to Cesar would change my life forever. I am so grateful to Cesar for being picky, for being a genuine friend, and for his true honesty…always. I am also grateful to Eric for encouraging Edgar to go for it and for the sweet things he remembered about me. Days leading up to Edgar and I’s first date, I asked those closest to me about how they knew their partners were the one. All with different stories, different lengths of time being together, they all said the same thing “you just know”. As someone who hadn’t experienced this moment yet, that answer was not my favorite. As I arrived to our first date - late in true fashion - I saw Edgar standing by the restaurant door. I walked up to him, he smiled and hugged me. And the most magical thing happened… I. Just. Knew. So began our happily ever after.
