Anita "Anu" Apte


10 years!? Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to the reunion. It will be a blast though and I’m sad to miss it! Here’s the scoop on me: I graduated from the University of Utah with what I like to call “the de facto desultory degree’. That would be the Bachelors of Science in Behavioral Science and Health Administration with minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. Otherwise known as the, I’m pre-med because my parents want me to be, but do I really want to be . . . degree. After graduation I moved to Seattle with my dog, a moving truck, and the ocean and rainforests in mind. My first roommate in Seattle heard my mom call me Anu, my childhood nickname, and it stuck. Most Seattleites don’t know my real name is Anita. Being called Anu reminds me of being young, so what the heck, Anu it is. I delved into the fashion design world for 2 years. I designed my own line, did some print modeling, decided I was bored, and abandoned ship. I met the ever so handsome Zane Harris in the fall of 2005 and we’ve been joined at the hip since. We are living in sin in our work/live artist loft located in an old converted warehouse that was formerly a burlap bag factory built in 1904. I don’t think I want ceilings lower than 22 feet ever again. Over the past few years we have worked on several projects together including our newest and biggest. We just bought a bar! As of August 1st we are the proud owners of the Rob Roy in Seattle. If any of you are ever in Seattle we’d love to have you visit us. We can whip up some tasty non-alcoholic drinks too! The next few years of our lives will be dedicated to bringing new techniques, products, and the freshness to Seattle. Other than that, I have no kids, am 10 pounds heavier, can’t lift small women over my head any longer, still play soccer once in awhile, travel as much as I can, and miss all of my Utah friends dearly. You can catch me on facebook or http://www.robroyseattle.com/ or http://www.acoupleofcocktails.com/.

I am so proud of you and Zane! Congrats on the new "purchase". It's so fun to still call you my friend, not just for the last 10 years, but for the last 15...16...maybe 17 years! I'm so happy for you!
