12 years...Wow!
Mike and I celebrated our 12 year anniversary last Sunday. I can't believe it's been 12 years...it only seems like 25 to life. Ha, Ha...Just kidding.People often ask me how we met...He stalked me. This time I'm not kidding.
I was in Miami going through culinary school and searching for a job working in a kitchen. A friend of mine was the chef/owner of a popular restaurant called Max's South Beach. He offered me a job which I of course took. He arranged for me to come in and speak to his sous chef (second in command) to find out all the particulars. The sous chef was Michael and he had a long list ( 4 pages on a legal pad) of questions to ask me regarding my skills and culinary knowledge. This comes directly from him...Apparently I walked in the door and he threw the list by the wayside because the only question he ever asked me was..."So, where do you hang out." I didn't realize it at the time but, he would drive around South Beach looking for my car parked in front of one of my hang outs and come in acting all surprised like..."Hey, Funny seeing you here." Me, not knowing he was in stalking mode would just sit and talk with him. Michael wore me down. He asked me to marry him within two months. It took us until July to get to Vegas to get married but that's a whole other story.
