A Chance Meeting: The Back Story

It’s 5:15am on February 14^th, 2011 – Valentine’s Day. We groggily wake up. The car is already packed, the end result of weeks of preparation. I don’t remember the last full night of sleep. Our overnight bag sits patiently in the corner. Today is the day our lives will change forever. Linh, my girlfriend, has been waiting to leave Florida since about two hours after she arrived. That was six years ago. Her wait is over, because today she moves to Boston, sight unseen, with her beau. Little did she know that I had bigger plans.

            This is the true story of our new life. Unsatisfied with Florida, we decided to ditch our jobs, say goodbye to our friends, and move to Boston. Neither of us have ever stepped foot in Massachusetts, but we were ready for a fresh start. Before I continue, however, introductions are in order.(After the jump!)
