10 years of dating

Today, December 10, 2005, is the 10 year anniversary of the day Bibi and I started dating.

On September 22, 1995, I arrived at River Plate University in Entre Rios, Argentina, for a year of Spanish language studies. That same day my new roommate, Marcelo Simi, introduced me to his group of friends... and I met Bibi. The whole group hung out a lot over the next few months and everyone noticed there were sparks flying between Bibi and I.

On Saturday morning, December 9, 1995, Bibi and I (and our group of friends) went to church together then all ate at the university cafeteria. We hung out all afternoon... good conversation, good laughs, good times. Later that evening, Bibi and I went for a walk alone in a park near the university.

It was there that I asked her to be my girlfriend. Bibi has always had a very sly streak, so leaving me in suspense, she reccomended that we walk down to Jenny Neugebauer's house, Bibi's best friend. After hanging out there for a couple hours we started walking back to campus.

We stopped to talk at a park on the way. At about 12:15 am, December 10, 2005, Bibi said "YES" to officially being my girlfriend.

And, as they say, the rest is history... Here's a picture of us a few days after that momentus event... :-)
