By the time I graduated law school, I was done with men.

I moved cities, bought my own apartment in NYC, and set out to do life as a “career woman.”

(That was what we called women who didn’t marry and just had careers back in 1996.)

Today, you might say I was in full-on, Miley Cyrus, I-can-buy-myself-flowers mode.

And that is how I began my first week as a first-year associate in Big Law.

But also that week—

I had to attend WestLaw training.

And there was this cute boy there.

So I talked to him.

The rest is history.

At the time, I thought I was the luckiest “career woman” in the world.

I still think that.

Happy anniversary, Matt Haverstick.

To 27 years + 27 + 27 more.

Love.
