“ One afternoon I decided to go for a walk around Central Park. There was an outdoor festival/ flea market type thing going on which made for great people watching. I pulled out my camera and began taking photos when Nick came up to me. He asked me why I was in New York and I told him I was on my way to Iceland. His eyes lit up and he responded, "No way! The posters I'm signing are of me skiing in Iceland!" I laughed, assuming it was just a line, but I humored him and took a poster anyways. Later that day, I looked him up on Instagram and commented on a photo he took at the festival saying "Hi, I'm the Iceland girl. If you're ever in LA and need a tour guide let me know." This was super out of character for me. A couple months later, I get a phone call from Nick saying he's in LA and wants to hang out. We had a great first date and ended up keeping in touch for a year as friends until he moved from Colorado to California. Now we've been together for almost two years.”
