We met at a small restaurant in Encinitas, where what was supposed to be a quick dinner turned into hours of nonstop conversation and laughter. We were having such a great time that we didn’t even realize the restaurant was closing until the staff started cleaning up around us. For our second date, we took Winston and Raven to the Del Mar dog beach, where they became fast friends while we watched the sunset over burgers and milkshakes, already feeling like we had known each other forever. Our shared love for skiing took us on our first trip to Big Bear, where we spent the weekend falling—on the slopes and for each other. From that moment on, we were inseparable, and the rest is history.
