I still remember watching the horror of that day unfold. It was Boxing Day, ten years ago, when a huge earthquake created a tsunami that swallowed up almost a quarter million people in Southeast Asia. When so many lives were falling apart (I'll never forget the Nate Berkus interview w/Oprah where detailed how he lost his love to the sea), mine as I know it now was falling together. (Thankfully, Nate's has too and he's now married and expecting a baby!)
I'd recently met a really nice (and cute and funny and smart) Indian guy, and after the tsunami I e-mailed him to ask after his family there. He's from Bombay, so maybe I was just being nice, but he liked it and asked me out.
A week later, we went on our first date.
A year later, we got engaged.
Two years later, we got married.
Five more after that, we finally brought our babies home.
Now a decade later, I couldn't be more thrilled that he's my partner in our life's adventures...
Hope you and yours had a fabulous Christmas! XO
