We met in 2015 at Butte College, but it wasn’t until they took Botany together that things clicked. That class ended up being the start of ten years together. Together, we navigated different universities, cherished three years living in Los Angeles, and even four long distance years while Alan pursued dental school in Florida, proving that distance was never a dealbreaker. After all the miles and milestones, we finally settled into life together, getting engaged in Italy and now enjoying each day side by side with our three cats.
