So a few weeks earlier, my son Owen and I were at the park when he met a new friend. They started to argue as 5 yr olds do and the other boy's father and I both said our kids names and started to laugh as his son was Rowen. The boys wanted to have more play dates.

After a few weeks of play dates for our 5 yr old boys and discovering they had the same due date - but were born about a month apart - and finding that we shared many common interests, he asked me on a date and he planned on our date being a truck bed full of blankets looking at the stars. But it was rainy that night so instead we drove around and ended up under a bridge in melrose watching the rain fall all around us.

Our conversations flowed effortlessly and a mouse ran out from under his feet and scared him; we still laugh about that! We had our first kiss there and now we go to that spot to go fishing with our boys and we sit on the same rock as we did that night; it has become our favorite spot to go for picnics; for fishing; or just to spend some time together.

I chose to get a map of what the stars would have looked like that night because even though we couldn't see the stars, they still lined up perfectly for us that night.
