A long time ago in a land not so far away, a shy ballerina spotted a not-so-shy water polo stud (her words, not his). They started to notice each other more and more... Her interest peaked when she realized that everyone near him couldn't help but have a good time and smile in his presence, while he saw a vibrant and loud personality behind her shyness and was drawn to the mystery. He paid extra close attention when she was up in the front of their English class, and she waited for him almost every day so they could walk to their next class together. A couple of movie nights and beach days later, he dragged her to Pismo Beach, picked her up, and jumped in the water - figuring "if she likes me after this, she'll like me forever." That was the day they had their first kiss and officially starting dating. Six years, 4 diplomas, and 115 pounds added to the family (only 70lbs of which can be claimed by their pup, Asher), he took her to the same spot and asked if she wanted to jump in with him again, promising she would never regret it. She jumped into more than just cold water when he got down on one knee in the waves and proposed... with a blue raspberry ring pop. 6.19.2014 first kiss 6.19.2020 proposal 6.19.2021 WEDDING
