We met in April 2012 in photography class at College of the Canyons in Valencia, Ca. We had an assignment to visit a photography exhibit at the Getty Museum. We did not know each other although Gabriel had noticed me and wanted the chance to get to know me. Well this was the perfect opportunity! Gabriel came up to me one day after class and asked if I wanted to carpool with him and other classmates to the Getty, and I agreed that would be a great idea. When I showed up that morning, only Gabriel was in the parking lot and told me that everyone else flaked out. Little did I know that was just an excuse and it was always supposed to be just us two! We ended up spending that afternoon at the museum talking, laughing, and getting to know one another. We had an instant chemistry and connection from the start and became official on August 9th, 2012. After 5 years together, we became engaged on August 25th, 2017. We will be getting married on our 7th anniversary!
