Daniel and I met very serendipitously. He was strutting down the street...long hair in his face and festival attire on point, while I was in a typical outfit consisting of yoga pants, hair in a bun and no makeup (how could he resist ;). He ran into none other than the person who knows everyone, Amanda Monteith, and me on the street, drinking coffee outside Starbucks. A couple jokes, sarcastic comments and a heavy accent later... I was in love....or in lust. I was seriously intrigued by this hipster with a heavy Japanese...no Brazilian... no New York accent?!? and the rest as they say...is history. We spent the next couple of months "courting" each other, pretty much running into each other at random spots around the city. We finally went on our first date, which led to a week of hanging out nonstop and decided, hey... I think I like you. :) Little did I know, he was great friends with 3 of my best friends, Masha, Amanda and Lisa, even before I knew them. So here we are... 4 years later, 1 year spent around the world, 3 different apartments in SF, and a happy step-dad relationship going on with my incredibly handsome dog, Baloo :)
