It was the second date with @cryptoctopus. I remember so clearly the first time the word cryptocurrency came out of his mouth as he was pouring that perfect cup of Camelia Senensis pür tea. He was bright eyed and enthusiastic, but it was like he was speaking a different language. Since then I observed steemit's developent through the eyes of @cryptoctopus. Fascinated, holding an imaginary bowl of popcorn, I watched the evolution. And now, just over a year since that second date, I finally found enough gumption to explore firsthand the world of steemit.
So who am I? Well, as a starting point, I am the fiancée of your very own and bright @cryptoctopus and will be marrying him in 39 days (eeek)! So besides navigating love and wedding and life planning, I am a studio director working with a non-profit organization reaching out to youth. I studied music, cultural anthropology, and biblical studies in college. I love the arts, music, travelling, and reflecting on the deeper things in life, and chocolate and tea of course. I am an external processor and love communicating ideas but struggle with trying to make things perfect never following through with publishing a blog.
My hope for being on steemit is to be able to share with you what is going on in my work, mind, and soul through thoughts, reflections, questions, music, and stories.
I don't think I will ever go to a Camelia Senensis tea house without being reminded of that fateful day when @cryptoctopus told me about cryptocurrencies and steemit. Little did I know that just over a year later, I would find myself not only engaged to him but would be jumping on a steem engine that would take me to a whole new world.
I'm the luckiest man on earth for sure and I'm still pinching myself sometimes.
I'm glad for both of you! wish you the best!
Nice man! Happy for you guys! Now tell me which lucky crypto alt-coin leads you to this beautiful lady! :P

Well, that is one gorgeous picture and a well-written first post. I think you will love it here. I joined just a couple of weeks ago, and it's honestly been so hopeful and feels like it could be life-changing. I'm a singer-songwriter and the support has been phenomenal already (feel free to take a look at my videos if that interests you).
Congratulations and all the best with the wedding planning!
