Ellen was working the front door selling tickets for Hanna's now husband's metal concert while Bobby was working as the photographer taking photos of the band. Bobby had recently moved back from Tennessee and was working at Samy's camera and applying to Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department. Ellen was studying biology at UCSB and working for a cardiologist.

Our mutual enjoyment for similar things in life; outdoors, cooking, fishing, camping and travel and our similar values; family, friends, and public service have kept us going strong over the past eight years. Ellen tirelessly supported Bobby throughout the academy and throughout his career while Bobby endlessly supported Ellen while she accomplished her goal of becoming a PA. After a long three years apart, we're enjoying time together with our two pups Tillie and Juno. Although a pandemic postponed our wedding plans in 2021, we look forward to celebrating our love with you!
