It's funny how memory works. We remember the big moments like scoring the winning run in a game or walking across a stage to receive a diploma. But sometimes seemingly smaller, random moments can stick and we often don't see their significance until later, sometimes much later! I can still recall meeting Anna for the first time in 2014. Though we barely talked, I remember thinking she was very kind and attractive. Fast forward seven years, I visited her sister's house when she stopped by. Since Caleb and Lizzie were new parents at the time, Anna brought dinner over for them and her caring heart and kind words again left an impression. I later asked Lizzie for Anna's phone number and we had our first coffee date at Copa Vida coffee shop in Pasadena. Since that first date, there have been countless wonderful moments spent together culminating in our engagement at the beach in Malibu December 7, 2023. Along the way, our dear family and friends have played an integral role in our relationship and we hope you will join us in creating more lasting memories this summer!
