Our story begins in the summer of 2017. Alberto at the time was fighting wildfires, while home from University, in our hometown of Colville, Washington. Though this took up most of his time, you could find him on his days off hanging out with friends and enjoying the few months of outdoor activities before going back to Boca Raton, FL. During this same time, Nicole had moved back to Colville and was using this time to find herself and start fresh. Nicole was a dental assistant at Healthy Expressions and could be found on the weekends exploring the mountainside and roaming around the rivers with her fur baby Leeloo. Little did Nicole and Alberto know, but in late June 2017, their lives would change forever! Their mutual friend connected the dots one night and realized that we should reconnect while we were both in Colville. She knew that we would be the perfect pair because of our thirst for life, outgoing personalities, and a mutual love of nature. So after several Snapchat's later, we had reconnected and planned a beach day. It was at the Columbia River, on a beautiful sunny day, where two friends feelings blossomed from a crush, to love.
