How We Met

Our story began at the Houston Food Truck Festival, where we were both invited by my best friend, Spencer Long, and his friend, Ryan Kelly. What started as a fun day with friends quickly turned into something more when Anthony and I met and instantly hit it off. There was an easy connection between us from the start, but at the time, it grew into a genuine friendship. For months, we stayed just friends, spending time together and getting to know each other more and more. Everything felt natural, and neither of us was in a rush to define what it was becoming. Then one day, during a conversation, I made the bold statement that baseball is not even a competitive sport, which, if you know Anthony, did not go over well. When he found out I had never been to a baseball game, he immediately decided to change that. The very next day, he showed up with tickets to a Houston Astros game, turning it into our very first date. From that moment on, everything shifted. What started as a simple friendship turned into something much more, and from that day forward, the rest is history.
