We met in the summer of 2013. That’s right! We have been together for NINE YEARS! Our story begins with a message on a dating app. A simple, “Hey, how’s it going?” Then, it led to a long phone call. We had an instant connection, but we were living in two different counties. Kev was still in the Navy living in Oceanside, meanwhile Annika was freshly out of college and living in Huntington Beach. Kevin made the drive from Oceanside every weekend to spend time with Annika in Huntington Beach, ensuring our relationship would remain strong. And it did! Fast forward to 2017, and we move in together after four years of dating. We no longer have to wait for weekends to see each other, and the rest is history. Wooho!
