In the summer of 2017 we met at work in Walnut Creek. By December of 2017 we had our first date seeing the third installment of the Thor series after eating at Veggie Grill. By February 2018 we were exchanging 'I Love You's'. We started to develop a love for hiking and the outdoors in 2019. By 2020 the pandemic hit and we set our goal to visit all of the California National Parks. On December 31, 2021 after we had hit Pinnacles, Yosemite, Lassen, Kings, Sequoia, Death Valley the time had come to make it official. We became engaged after the question was popped at Hidden Valley in Joshua Tree National Park. In 2022 the National Park quest was also concluded after trips to Redwoods and Channel Islands (not to mention Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, Lava Beds, etc.). All the while our lives were becoming intertwined, we became inseparable, and our love became unbreakable. This is our love story and it has been a dream come true.
