How We Met - Will's Perspective

So back in the Summer of 2002, I started work at Accenture in Reston Va. One early morning I was walking in the parking garage on my way into the Accenture office and from the corner of my eye I noticed a cute young Asian woman getting out of her car. So of course, I slowed down to see if she was also going to the Accenture building. Sure enough she was and as we both entered the building I struck up what seemed to be an innocent conversation. We didnt quite date after that, but did go to a Washington Wizards basketball game with a bunch of friends and she did invite me to her housewarming. But she soon left for Africa on a consulting assignment (circa 2004) so we simply lost touch.

She came back from Africa and we ran into each other at a company meeting in late August and I'm pretty sure I left a good impression. A few days later I received an email inviting me to a wine festival. Not sure what this meant, I stupidly replied and asked if she was bringing a date =P. Her response was... "Yea, his name is Will Chu or something". So we hit it off and decided to spend more time together, especially at Matchbox over a bottle of Cakebread (I cant drink that much anymore). We didnt get to see that much of each other as later that Fall, I was soon traveling to Lima, Peru and her to Seattle, WA. When I did come back, about every 3 weeks, we spent time together, altho there was a weekend she went to get a dog for her parents.

The new year was upon us and she told me she was going to Africa for her assignment. Wow, she's leaving me again! (not really) I was not about to let that happen so I decided to take a vacation and go Safari-ing in Africa. While West Africa is not as developed as East or South Africa, it was worth the trip.

Needless to say, we hit it off and the rest is history! You can read about the rest in "Breaking News: "
