Fast forward four years. It's late September 2007. Laura has recently moved to Hoboken. Still great friends, John tells her he is visiting Hoboken for the day, to play Halo 3 with his friends who live there. The game has just been released, and, duh, they need to play it all afternoon long. Laura, wanting to see her friend, offers to come make tacos for the guys as they play.
Over the Thanksgiving long weekend, Tim calls Laura to formally ask her on a date. They plan to go to dinner and see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. They spend a romantic evening walking around New York City, not wanting the night to end: they know Tim is leaving for Japan the next day for a week. By the end of that evening, they both know that although Tim will have tons of fun in Japan, he will be remaining faithful to his new lady. Sure enough, when he arrives back in the States 10 days later (December 9, 2007), Laura picks him up from the airport and he officially asks her to be his girlfriend.Click on the images to enlarge.
May 20, 2010 was the 2.5 year anniversary of the night Tim brought Laura the best pizza in Hoboken. He took a half day from work to get that very pizza and bring it to their apartment on the Upper West Side. She came home from work to a sparkling clean apartment. He lit candles and setup a romantic dinner. She was so excited about the pizza! After dinner, Tim got down on one knee. Laura was so happily stunned, it took her a few moments to get the "yes" out!
