One word: gusto!
noun
enjoyment or vigor in doing something
synonyms: enthusiasm, zest, delight, glee, satisfaction, appreciation, liking
Isn’t that word great?
That’s where Brett and I met.
Not only is it one of my favorite words, it happens to be one of our favorite restaurants.
Atlanta folks, you’re missing out {on life} if you haven’t been yet:
gusto!
1935 Peachtree Rd NE
Atlanta, GA 30309
So, it started as a glance.
Followed by silence.
Yes.
Silence.
Brett and I looked at one another and didn’t say a word.
So, how did we “meet” there?
Well, I guess we technically didn’t.
He ate his dinner, alone.
I ate mine with my girlfriend, at a different table.
And the manager – named Boston – joined my girlfriend and I in conversation {he’s my frand}.
So, what you don’t know is that Brett happens to eat at gusto! … a lot.
Usually once a day, sometimes twice.
This time, he made it twice.
In order to come back and leave this note for Boston to give to me.
Being a girl, I told Boston I wasn’t going to initiate the conversation.
So, I gave him permission to pass my number along to Brett.
Which was followed by this..
Oh.
That’s what being a man looks like.
Allowing my girlfriend and I to have “our” time.
And being direct and reaching out.
So … the rest is history.
These are the flowers that changed everything.
Well, not really the flowers.
The “I’m not going anywhere if you still have cancer” that changed everything, accompanied by the flowers.
And this is the boy that changed me.
Happy Sunday, y’all!
I’ll see you next time with some fashion or beauty.
xo,
