We're getting Married!

On the Journey of Dom and Chris… We met at Mt. SAC in August of 2014 on the same college Cross Country team. Chris was persistent in trying to ask me out, talk to me, and even made efforts to say, “Hey, how was your race?” I was quiet, kept to myself, and really wanted nothing to do with the guys on the team—especially Chris! Flashback to when I visited Mt. SAC on a college tour. I remember his glasses and saying to myself, this guy looks like he’s in high school—what a nerd. He’s so small. He was one of the many who gave a high five as a “Welcome to Mt. SAC.” But why did he stand out then and why do I still know him today? LOVE. Because if this isn’t love, I don’t know what is. Soon I joined the team that summer and the next thing you know we were on our way to a team trip to Yosemite. We had two days there, and we spent one of them just talking—really talking—about where we had been and where life was taking us. Our Story & Adventures 2014 Met at Mt.
