Veronica and I met while I was visiting my friend Laura, in Spain. She is a long-time friend and co-worker of Laura's. Both of us were coming off of tough relationships and neither of us had much interest in dating or pursuing another long term relationship, especially one that would be undoubtedly difficult due to distance and a language barrier. However, our mutual friend can be very persuasive... and we agreed to meet. Sparks flew immediately! I was at once encaptivated by her warmth, inteligence and beauty. Since that day we never thought twice about the difficulties of a relationship together and 1 year later, we find ourselves here on our journey to remove the remaining barrier between us and begin the rest of our lives together.
