Love is Cool

6 years ago today Nelson and I took the plunge and decided to get married. Happy Anniversary to us! Love is not easy, love is not blind but it is beautiful and challenging every day. On a random afternoon I decided to take these images of Nelson to help launch his Facebook status. It took only a few minutes to update his image and secure his rightful place on the social media circuit. I love these photos because they simply look like Nelson but with me behind the lens, I can't help but think a few of these moments were meant just for me.

It felt like a moment out of a classic Woody Allen film as we sat together in front of Frankies on Court Street, having his usual smoke. Nelson is a New Yorker, born and raised. Not a day goes by that I'm not pleasantly reminded of that, it's one of the many things I love about him most. I have only (only...) 16 years here in NY but I feel more and more attached to New York, especially with Nelson by my side.

Celebrating this year feels easy, almost a bit too comfortable. A friend recommended we check out The Dutch for gourmet burgers and oysters on the half shell which sounds perfect to us. More likely we will meet at the bar, Dirty Martini for him, something sparkling for me. It's fitting because that is where we met. It was a misty Fall, Monday evening and we happened to be the only two people in the place. He claims it was love at first site, but every once in a while I'm reminded, "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." We'll drink to that!
