Once upon a time in a college memoir class,
there was a boy with tattoos who always had something smart to say.
This caught the attention of a shy girl who never read her stories aloud.
She told him that he looked like an American Idol contestant
{anyone remember beat-boxing Blake?}
And he told her he liked her shoes
{slip-on vans}.
They began spending time together between classes,
and talking on the phone all night.
They fell in love.
When she graduated from college a few months later,
she moved to Carlsbad with her best friend Kandi,
{to be nearer to the boy}.

A year later the boy started law school.
Another year passed and the boy and girl took a winter trip to Europe.
They explored Amsterdam, Germany, Paris and Belgium together.
On Christmas, the boy got down on one knee and asked the girl to be his wife.
{She said yes.}
 |
| Christmas in Belgium, 2009. |
Ten months later,
under large oak trees and hanging lanterns,
they made a promise
and were married.
 |
| October 2010 |
The boy and the girl are living happily ever after
with their four-legged daughter, Lucy
{a total pip squeak}.
The end.
