Emily and Tim met during their freshman year at UCSD. Emily was eating Mexican food in her pajamas on the floor of her dorm room when Tim walked in to say hello to her roommate. It was a brief introduction that involved an unusual conversation about scented pine cones (it was fall after all), but it sparked a friendship which eventually turned into a romance. After several months of flirting and hanging out, the two realized they had a connection and made it official. Since then they've graduated from UCSD, travelled to 3 countries and 7 states together, adopted 2 kitties, have made San Diego their home and been obsessed with each other for the past 9 years.
