Re: Writing Congrats Game (sign-ups)
in reply to a message by Mar
I actually was thinking about making my congrats a writing one, but figured it was too much work. Thanks!DH: Andrew Jamison Baker (Physical Therapist (doctorate student))(24)
DW: Nicolette Anne (Jenson) "Nikki" (Occupational Therapy Assistant)(23)
Random Event: #7
Writing: Andrew and Nikki first met when Andrew was doing his physical therapy clinicals at the hospital where Nikki works. It was love at first sight, for Andrew at least. Nikki wasn't looking for a man--she had just broken up with her boyfriend of three years after learning that he had been secretly dating one of her best friends for over six months. The first time they met, Andrew had gotten lost and was looking for a patient's room where he was supposed to observe a therapy session. Nikki directed him to the correct room and continued on with her day. The next day, Andrew was lost again--purposely. For the next few days, he would come to the therapy room seeking directions to one room or another, and Nikki would direct him to the correct place. The next week, Andrew decided to see if Nikki wanted to go to the hospital cafeteria for some coffee. He figured he could get to know Nikki better, and she wouldn't feel like it was a date--after all it was the hospital's cafeteria. Although Nikki intended to decline, she found herself nodding when Andrew asked her to the cafeteria. Over the next few weeks, Andrew and Nikki met up several times. Nikki could feel herself growing closer to Andrew, and Andrew had known all along that Nikki was the girl for him. Three months after they met, Andrew and Nikki went on their first official date. They went out to eat dinner after work one night, and both enjoyed their time immensely. The next eight months flew by as Nikki continued working at the hospital, and Andrew finished up his Physical Therapy degree. He graduated with his Master's degree and intends to get his doctorate before he begins working. He still has four years of school left, but he and Nikki decided to get married anyhow, since Nikki had already been working for three years and had saved up some money. The wedding was a small family affair. Andrew and Nikki were married in Nikki's childhood church, and they held their reception at a local banquet hall. They went on their honeymoon to Europe--a place both Andrew and Nikki had wanted to visit. They did some sightseeing in Paris, London, Rome, and they even spend a few days in Istanbul, on a whim. Now they are back in the United States. They moved into Nikki's one bedroom apartment, but plan to put a down payment on a small house in the near future.
