We met the way all great love stories begin—at a powerlifting gym in Santa Barbara. Eduardo was the president of the powerlifting club at UCSB, which is how our paths first crossed. It started with a few glances between sets, shared gym jokes, and a mutual respect for heavy lifting. Cindy eventually asked Eduardo out for coffee, knowing he was on a strict diet. Somehow, coffee turned into ramen, and that first date sparked something special. Eduardo rizzed Cindy up with his Rubik’s Cube skills, and from that night on, we were pretty much inseparable. Cindy started eating his signature ground turkey and rice, and Eduardo began joining her at her favorite restaurants, discovering a whole world of flavors beyond meal prep. We bonded over our love for the gym, anime, science, and deep philosophical conversations that somehow flowed as easily as our protein shakes. As our lives got busier, Eduardo started flying to the Bay every single week for work, and flying right back just to spend weekends with Cindy while she pursued her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. Through PRs and shabu dates, meal preps and anime expos, we've built a relationship full of laughter, shared goals, and genuine love. And now, we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with all of you.
