Before dating, David and I had known of each other through mutual friends. One night, we happened to be at the same bar in Riverside, called Menagerie. I saw that he was in front of me waiting in line for a drink, so I leaned in and said, "Are you ever going to ask me out?" (I'm very subtle LOL) He turned around and said, "Do you want to go on a date?" The rest in history! We moved in together after about a year, and then I proposed (finally) after 9 years. While we are very different, we seem to balance each other out perfectly. We're looking forward to the start of a new chapter in our lives, along with our baby girl Emma and an adopted Great White shark named Sprinkles Pancake.
