Together is a beautiful place to be

We met back in 2018 while we both worked at Safeway in Lakeport, CA. The first time we interacted with each other was on Valentines Day. Michael brought roses to work and gave a single rose to everyone who worked there, including Evanna. Evanna was helping bag groceries when Michael tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around and saw a red beautiful rose. Evanna was much more shy back then, and thanked Michael without asking his name. Shortly later, she introduced herself. We interacted more during the next couple months, and found out we were both lunatics. This is where it all started!

Evanna: When I first met Michael, I was going through a difficult time in my life. I spent so many days thinking "wow, I really have nobody (outside of Family) to share a real experience with, even in daily life." but Michael made me feel like there is someone who can treat me like I'm important and special. He makes me feel normal, like I belong. My interactions with Michael always have been genuine, and sweet. We have a deep honor and respect for each other. Michael can make me genuinely laugh, deeply think, and love. Our connection is real and only seems to get better with time. I love him dearly. Michael: When I first met Evanna Kasmira Pirlo, I had just lost someone deeply close to me. I spent my days making it through day to day thinking it was all a bad dream, and that I'd wake up, but it was my reality. It was very hard to care about anything in life. Evanna makes me feel like there is a reason and meaning in living this life we live in. She makes me feel like I matter, like I belong. My connnection with Evanna has always been true, and real. I have learned alot opening my eyes through hers, We have a precious bond and reverence for each other. Evanna can make me feel worthy, rationally think, and love. Our lives are so close it wouldnt be the same without her. I love her more than anything in the world. Truly.

If you live in Lake County, you likely know the list of things to do can run out quickly. Michael and Evanna decided to go to the movies back in 2019 to see Pokémon Detective Pikachu, a mystery fantasy comedy film based on the Pokemon Franchise. Instead of staying in town, they decided to go to Roxy Stadium 14 in Santa Rosa, CA a movie theater that features reclining chairs, large projector screens, a wine/alcohol bar, and hot foods. They wanted to experience an enjoyable, low-key night. When Michael and Evanna arrived and parked in the parking garage, they were about 15-20 minutes late. Michael and Evanna can't remember why, but likely because Evanna took too long getting ready (an experience all men in relationships must go through atleast once...sorry fellas!). As usual, they bought tickets and were instructed to go into Theater 6. Since Evanna and Michael were late--they thought nothing of the movie already playing...until the ending credits ran 35 minutes later. Confused, they started laughing and realize they were told the wrong theater. "We already know how it ends, no point in going to the right theater..." they decided, and left the theater to get dinner. That's the Pirlo/Reynolds luck!
