According to Kevin, we met at a charity bowling event a mutual friend organized.  I only had time to drop in that day, and I don't really remember meeting him, but then again I met a lot of people that day at that event and other parties I attended. 

Fast-forward to the next day, I met Kevin (or re-met I guess) at a bar/concert venue in Denver, the Larimer Lounge.  I was there to meet some girlfriends who were running incredibly late.  I saw my friends' friend, Jeff, so I starting hanging out with him and was then reintroduced to Kevin.  As it turns out, my friends had known Kevin for years.  A few hours later, after Kevin and I had spent a lot of afternoon talking with each other, the girls were pressing me to get Kevin's number.  After the show we all went to a diner and I ended up giving Kevin a ride home.  And then he called me the next day.

Our first date was May 31, 2008.  We had tried to meet up a few times before then, but we were both crazy busy....and because of this, I ended up joining him for a day on a camping trip with his buddies.  They had the trip planned for a month, but he said it would be great if I could drive out on Saturday for the night.  I felt a little odd, but then figured, "hey, why not?  what's the point if you don't take a chance?" and told him I'd go if I could bring my dog.  So, on Elwood's third birthday, we drove an hour-and-a-half out of town and went camping with Kevin and his friends for a night. 

Let's just say that we had no problems making time for each other after that!
