Let's do it again!

Grace and Eric met while working at MINDBODY, but really kicked things off when they were introduced by mutual friends during Halloween weekend 2013 at the bars in SLO. Grace was dressed up as Madonna (thanks Cam! - Eric) and Eric had been abandoned by his other friends after his phone died. Over the following couple of weeks, Grace began to frequent the house of Eric and the other bachelors that resided at 68 Verde Dr., San Luis Obispo, California. Pretty soon, Grace and Belle had become a staple in Eric and his friends' victory lap at Cal Poly. Grace would regularly embarrass Eric by shouting "OMG I DO!" every time Eric would tie his shoes or pick something up off the ground. At first, Grace was not sure if she was invited to things or if Eric really liked her. But due to the encouragement of their friend KC, she persisted and eventually Eric caught on!

In April of 2019, Eric took Grace to New York City for a short trip together. After spending a rainy morning at a museum, the weather cleared, allowing for a perfect afternoon to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge together. After taking the subway over to Brooklyn, they tucked into a local taproom for a couple of drinks before setting out to enjoy an architectural masterpiece and the NYC skyline. About a quarter of the way over, Eric stopped Grace and said he needed to re-tie his shoelace.
