Our narrative began more than a decade ago in our first-year dorm at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Residing just one door away from each other, our paths quickly became intertwined. Initial short conversations evolved into shared adventures, laying the foundation for a deep friendship. Over time, a clear bond emerged, apparent to everyone around us, though it took us years to recognize and embrace it ourselves. As our college years drew to a close and graduate school began, we encountered the fresh challenge of maintaining a long-distance relationship. This 5-year period was marked by frequent travels between Michigan and New York, often during weekends and holidays. Despite the difficulty, we treasured each moment we spent together, and were able to explore and experience numerous states across the US. Now, as we settle into Los Angeles as our home, we're thrilled to start this new chapter. We're immensely grateful to have each of you with us on this journey, sharing in every laughter, and each moment that shapes our unique story.
