Since everyone else seems like they are doing it, here is our story.
It all began in Sept. 2001. I was still in Texas waiting for school to start, but my friend Crystal kept calling me on the phone and telling me about this guy named Katsu who she met and thought was really cool. He had just got back from his mission and was starting his sophomore year at Boston University. I finally met Katsu after getting back to Boston University. We met on Columbus Day - Oct. 8, 2001 - hiking in the Green Mountains in New Hampshire. Everyone else was hiking either too fast or too slow, and so we ended up hiking together. It was beautiful between the snow and foliage and I kept slipping and Katsu ended up having to help me a few times (should have worn hiking boots).
We met paths several more times as our friends starting to all become friends with each other. We started dating at the end of October and went on a first real double date in November. Our first kiss was a few weeks later and we were inseparable by then. We were apart for about a month around Christmas, which was really hard, but we made lots of long distance phone calls from Japan to Texas and emailed each other constantly. It really cemented our relationship.
We dated for the next year. We had so much fun dating - we walked all over Boston, went to symphonies at the BSO, saw plays and musicals and ballets and operas, visited the science and art museums, went to friends concerts, movies, the beach, out to eat, volunteered together weekly at Mass General Hospital, went on trips to Cape Cod and New Hampshire, and so much more.
Then, on our one year anniversary of dating (Nov 9, 2002), Katsu proposed. We spent the entire day together - from a parade at Northeastern, to a walk along the Freedom Trail, to lunch at Legal Sea Food, to a walk up to Bunker Hill, till we ended up at the Harbor where Katsu proposed. And of course, I said yes!
We got married June 7, 2003 at the Boston Temple and did a reception on a harbor cruise in the Boston Harbor with our friends and family.
This June we will have been married for four years! We have had a lot of adventures and a lot of fun and we are more in love with each other every day!

that's a great story...
but does that mean you haven't had your baby yet??
thank you for sharing with us. I remember the Christmas you spent here and how much you seemed in love at that time and I think you were married the following June. It was our first trip back East together. It was fun and we are so happy for you. Now just waiting to hear we have a new grandson. Let us know. Love you Grandma and Grandpa
What a cute story! I was wondering how you had met Katsu! Boston sounds like such a fun place to live.
