Everyone knows the expression 'time flies when you're having fun'. Well, 11 years ago on St. Patty's day, a girl who recently moved to Atlanta met up with a boy who was in his senior season at Georgia Tech. They met up at a bar to hang out (Gordon Biersch to be exact). It wasn't a date since she brought her entire team and he brought what seemed like his entire Tech basketball team, some football players and a few baseball players as back up in case it didn't go well. The night went well. There were multiple fishbowls drank, lots of laughs and many memories made that night (oh how I miss the old Buckhead). They took a gamble 5 months later staying together as he went overseas to continue playing basketball while she remained in the states playing soccer. They figured that if it was meant to be, it was meant to be. A few years later, she joined him in Europe. He introduced her to a few things: a lifestyle that she most likely would of never experienced if it weren't for him, being a die-hard anything New England fan (still rock a Yankees hat-sorry) and the 'infamous green bean'. She introduced him to a few things as well: not being a picky eater anymore, Carne Asada burritos and going out of his comfort zone. As she sits and writes this 11 years later, it amazes her how fast the time has gone by and how very well those 3,916 nights that followed that first St. Patty's Day have gone. Guess they were right, time really can fly, still not sold on pigs though...
