We met because Geno's friend JP ignored my entire ad on craigslist, I posted in need of a new roommate. I specifically stated that I was looking for a FEMALE roommate with a SMALL dog. Jp showed up at my door, obviously NOT a female and with a VERY large chocolate Lab named Tala. Although he was not what I was looking for in a roommate, and although Robbie hates big dogs, he immediatly fell in love with sweet Tala, so I took that as a sign. We hung out a couple times and became instant family. Just two weeks after JP moved in, I arrived home from teaching a spin class, extreamly sweaty. Geno was over helping JP set up his sound system and TV in his room. Geno started chatting me up, and acted like he was a regular spin goer (NOT!). Proceeded to harras JP about his roommate, and started stalking me on Facebook. The next weekend he made sure to come and meet up with us for a Sunday-Funday and we hung out together the rest of the evening, we even have pictures from that day. The first picture in our save the date, August 19th 2012, this was in fact the beginning of our Love Story..... On August 19th 2012 we had our first kiss on the beach at the end of Santa Monica Ave, Ocean Beach, SD, CA. On August 19th 2017 we will have our first kiss as husband and wife, on Sunset Cliffs in Ocean Beach, SD, CA.
