Our official first date. Met at the Arboretum and I showed her the over-wintering saw-whet owl in the weeping pine. From there we walked to the Thornhill Building for a concert by Carlyn Lloyd-Ford and Jon Warfel, flautist and pianist, respectively. What Kelly didn't know was that I'd gotten tickets from Kelly Bolger beforehand. I totally surprised her and I think I earned some major points! The concert was great, and afterward I bought and got signed the CD for her.

That Fateful Day
This is where it all began: the Caribou Coffee in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. After some emails and a short phone call we decided to meet here at 6 pm on this day. I was a few minutes early, she was a few minutes late. The song "Dear Valentine" by Guster was playing when she walked in. It was very cold outside. I had the vanilla latte, she had the Irish Breakfast Tea. She wore purple and was very pretty, I wore blue and was crazy handsome. We made a date for Sunday, and the rest, as they say, is history.
