For those who know, we grew up together! We have been in the same church since we were young, and have been friends since middle school. We went to university together, and were even in the same class. We later served together for 3 years in the church. Funny enough, even though we have been in each other's lives for 13 years, all this began with one really good, BELATED conversation. And we haven't stopped conversing since.

When we first started dating, we made it a goal to visit each of our favorite places. Conveniently, we both love Costco, the free samples, the long strolls down every aisle, more free samples, and of course, the legendary $1.50 hot dogs. Super romantic, right? But like most people in our community, we decided to keep our dating quiet at first. That meant our local Costco was off-limits, too many familiar faces! So, we started exploring every Costco within a 50-mile radius of Lynnwood, picking a new one for each date just to stay under the radar. Ironically, you can still probably find us at Costco — just the local one now.
