How and Why I Fell In Love w/My Husband

This story may sound so sappy and nuts but what the heck, I am nuts anyway.

You know that when you see someone across the room and you get total tunnel vision, well that's what exactly happened to me when I saw Tarik for the first time. Then I politely said to my friend, "I want that for Christmas". Later that day he was walking around sharing some chocolate covered blueberries, I had never tasted anything so wonderful in my life. Coming from a back ground of not eating at all (I was anorexic mostly in my teens) and now I was working for a flavor company I was teaching myself what flavor was and how much I loved it. Here I was learning to like flavor but I hated food, and here was this amazing man that took me on a flavor journey that was amazing.

While we were dating we plan out dinner all day long, going from store to store like a treasure hunt. Because he was so passionate about many things of course not only did I gained a good 20lbs but I fell in love. My Sister-In-Law calls it "happy fat", well hell I gained so much I could throw my own ticker tape parade!

All these new flavors I was introduced to really helped me at my job too. I would work w/our flavor chemist when she would try to duplicate things and even helped me get the job of QC for the company.

There were a few draw backs to my new refined palate, my friends hated going wine tasting with me. I could find all these different flavors that they couldn't! I loved chatting w/the people at the wineries but they were mad that they couldn't find the flavors in the food and wines.

So I can easily say that falling in love really effected so many aspects of my life, it put me on this footpath to what I am now and who I am now. Welcome to my crazy life.

Live Laugh Love,
