Kim and Nate met at Henry's bar in Berkeley during a Cal football tailgate. Kim had just gotten back from a year of working in Guam. Leighann invited Kim to the game with a group of friends. Nate was walking across the parking lot to meet up with his friend Arian when Kim's friend Kayley asked him to take a picture of she and Kim. Nate obliged. While he was taking the picture, Kim recognized Nate and they realized that they had gone to High School a town apart. Then they realized that they were at the game with the same extended group of friends. During the football game Nate sat one row in front of Kim and he didn't watch one snap of football. They agreed to meet up later that day in San Francisco and ended up spending the evening dancing. One week later Nate and Kim went on their first official date in Walnut Creek, They have been inseparable ever since.
