We could try and wax poetic that when we met it was love at first sight and the stars aligned! In actuality, we met at a pool party playing water basketball. Unbeknownst to Hardy, Gabbi would shatter any flirty fun expectations with multiple dunks and boxing out for rebounds. From there he was hooked yet Gabbi none the wiser. Fast forward to UW camps, where we were continually paired coaching together on various courts ending with night camp. Once Gabbi saw how great this tall, ginger, volleyball player (basically her unicorn) was with little kids, she was a goner. Throughout the years, we have shared a love of travel, national parks and Hardy's cooking. We've managed to survive three rounds of long distance, graduate school, and a big move to sunny California. It's been a forgone conclusion that this was forever, but we're excited to make it official!
