Story
Back when we were living in Berlin, a mutual work friend of ours organized a casual house party in Berlin. Anna arrived shortly after me with Francesca. We bonded over polish rainbow shots (vodka with red sirup at the bottom making a Polish flag 🇵🇱). We spent the evening blabbing and dancing in the living room and the rest is history.
Tidbits
Who made the first move? How?
Anna made the first move, she knows what she wants :)
How was your first date?
Our first date was at a G&T bar in Berlin. Anna got all dressed up in a black dress and a leather jacket and I arrived wearing shorts and a bit sweaty (as I was late and cycling to get there on time). She wasn't too happy about that but after having smoked G&Ts and an awesome date, things ended up working out.
What's your favorite activity together?
Going for endless walks and blabbing about anything and everything pretty much every day. Even when Aibek is away we go for a walk with our headphones on and talk over the phone.
A life goal of ours
Adopt a doggo, preferably a baby cocker spaniel (which until recently Aibek thought was cocker spaniard, like a Spanish breed...)
The dorkiest thing about us is
It's a bit embarrassing to say but after sending each other so many memes, we started to talk in memes. For example, instead of "I have" we say "I has" and instead of "It is me" we say "Tis me".
We take pride in
Striving for excellence, delivering solutions, something something customer, and something hero
