411 New York Avenue NE, November 2013 It all started when a rundown warehouse in northeast DC turned into an art gallery for the night. Hosting a unique art exhibition to benefit a DC-based non profit, the gallery featured custom, hand-painted and graphically designed skate decks, all up for silent auction. Among the list of artists was Laura and among the attendees… you guessed it, was Erick. The two were introduced by Laura’s cousin Ana, who was Erick’s housemate at the time. In very DC fashion, Erick talked about his work, his love for his career and his upcoming deployment, meanwhile Laura kept looking at the clock. She was only to be at the gallery for one hour before making it to her next event. You see, Laura had overbooking tendencies, some would even argue she suffered from FOMO. The following morning Laura would wake up to a Facebook friend request from Erick, whose profile picture was one of him kissing the skateboard she painted. Does it get any smoother than this? The friend request turned into an add friend, the chats turned into texts, the texts to calls, the calls to dates, and the dates into making a life together.
