We're getting married! ...a lot later than expected due to COVID19.

We were just two young EMTs working on ambulances at American Medical Response for the crazy city of San Bernardino. Brandon would get off shift and try his hardest to get my attention with his cheesy pickup lines and funny comments. He never knew that I always thought he was cute from the moment I first saw him, despite his silly jokes. After a year of flirting and jokes, we began dating. The rest is history...

One of our favorite hikes we like to go on together as a couple is at Torrey Pines State Reserve in La Jolla, Ca. On our four year anniversary, Brandon suggested we get some Vitamin D and take a scenic hike on the beach at one of the first trails we went on together. I should start by saying that Brandon had just finished getting over a nasty head cold, and he had regrettably passed it on to me. As sly as he thought he was being (he wasn't sly at all), I knew he was planning on proposing to me. Out of excitement that he'd pop the question at a memorable location, I lied and said I felt better (I didn't) and agreed to go on the hike. Torrey Pines is an easy 5 mile hike (if you're not sick) with numerous trails on the cliffs above the ocean. Many have overlooking spots with benches to sit and enjoy the sound of the waves breaking on the beach beneath you. It was a beautiful day, and once we got to an overlook that was finally free of other hikers, that's when Brandon (FINALLY) asked me to continue supporting him and making memories forever as his wife.
