Thanks to modern technology we were attracted to each other through an online dating service. We quickly realized we had much in common - our love for our family and friends, a bucket list to travel to National and State Parks, enjoying the simple pleasures in life, and our desire to meet someone who was kind, funny, loving, honest and romantic. And, despite Dan agonizing over whether or not he wanted to make "that loooong 1:15 minute drive to the mountain to meet someone who was still working and shared her bed with 3 dogs and 2 cats", and Bobbi needing to be kicked out the door by her daughter because she was "sooooo nervous she just knew she would throw up when she met this man", we stayed strong and met for our first date at an Idyllwild Coffee Shop....and the rest is happy history (except for the 3 dogs who now sleep on the floor in their own bed, lol).
