Sally and Robert

Celebrating three years together by revisiting the site profound to our personal history in the city we decided to call home.

Fall of 2005 at UVM, two seniors were desperate to complete their phys. ed. requirements for graduation. The instant attraction between Rob and I in that ballroom dance class was palpable, and was only just the beginning. Nearly 3 years ago, in January 2006, Rob and I traveled to Boston for a visit. We found ourselves enjoying the city, the sights, shopping, and especially the food. At the end of the day we ventured to the Skywalk at the top of the Prudential Center and spent hours looking over the city. At the time I wanted to move to Boston after graduation to kick off my nursing career, Robert seemed suddenly eager to make the move to Boston also after hearing my story. As summer approached and the job hunt was in full swing, so was the realization to secure housing. It was a big step, and we both took the leap to get an apartment and relocate together to Boston. Two years have gone by since we came to Boston, with plenty of incidence, commitments, and occasions (as evidence from prior posts). This third anniversary, with our third dinner and walk around the Top of the Hub, we had a touching reflection on how far we have come from that college dance class: graduation, a true relationship, relocation, travel and vacations, the tying and growing of families, becoming city-dwellers, more vacations and world travel, relationship growth, career developments, career retirements (Yay Rob!), home ownership, and so much more. We look to the future with anticipation and excitement of so much more we plan to accomplish together.
