We met on Royal street in the French Quarter. We started chatting, had a few drinks together and he gave me his phone number.

A few days later, Hurricane Katrina came and I evacuated shortly after to Baton Rouge and was able to get a flight back to Alberta.

I got in touch with him again in October when people started returning to their homes. We started talking almost everyday- and he flew me out in January for his Graduation at UNO. Mel had received his MBA in December and wasn't working yet so we spent 6 months 24/7 together before we got married.

In the street in front of a friend's apartment in Nuernberg, Germany. I hugged him with one hand whilst holding a large packet of toilet paper in another. :)
