We met for the first time in August of 2014 at a 90s themed party. We were introduced to one another, but that's about it. Fast forward to March of 2015, my friend, Sagun, invited me to get dinner with her and some friends. Sagun and I met up with the group (except Umair who was going to meet us directly at the restaurant) prior to our dinner reservation. We ended up being just a little late to the reservation...
I was told to take the seat across from a very angry Umair because he apparently would not yell at someone he just met for being late (he still did). After he got over us being late, and one "what that mouth do" later, the rest, as they say, is history. Also, on our first date, Umair told me that he asked about me after we met at the 90s party 6 months before. I guess things have their way of working out!

I bet she said we met at a 90's party. I bet she also said I asked about her after the party. I've been hiding this for 4 years, I actually don't remember meeting her that day.
However, I do remember the first time we actually met. I was going to dinner with my closest friends at Oddfellow's and was the first to arrive. The hostess seated me in the middle of the restaurant at a table for 6. My "closest" friends decided to show up 1 HOUR LATE. They eventually showed up and sat Ashka (in her Daisy hair filled outfit) right across from me knowing I wouldn't get mad and cause a scene in front of the random, cute girl. A few corny pickup lines later and I knew she was hooked.
So I proceeded to do what any young, brown guy in Dallas did at that time to impress a girl. Cafe Izmir on Tuesday, Little Katana on Wednesday, and the Dram on Saturday followed by Velvet Taco. The rest is history....
Actually, the rest is an amazing story as well...for another time.

Hellllooo Hoomans!
where do I even start?! One day it was just me and my mom going to the park, eating sticks and chasing squirrels, and the next thing I know this guy is ALWAYS around. I even convinced my mom to move to Austin a couple times just to get some space!! He even pretended NOT to like me at first. Like, c'mon, who does not like me?! Eventually, I wore him down and now he cannot get enough of me! He takes me to the park, gives me treats and snuggles with me while watching 'paw'ball. That is what you call it, right? Anyways, I am so excited to finally be a family <3
