Dennis and Cecilia first met in December 2018 when she visited their mutual friends, (credit: Tanya and Dean), in Austin prior to starting work in San Diego. They talked about their love for adventures-- possibly to go to Havasupai and hiking. Time passed without communication, until they reconnected in October 2020 when Dennis visited San Diego. Since then, they have enjoyed each other's company with a lot of trips as planned (mostly food!), and had shown dedication and sincerity in building their relationship, though miles apart. With God as their center, love found a way.
