We met each other on the first day of college at SUNY Albany in New York waiting in line for food. Josh had never heard the name "Shira" before; and thought Shira had said "Sarah". Josh avoided using Shira's first name as long as possible until he was sure. We still joke about it today! We bonded over our passion for sports and fitness and quickly became friends, playing basketball and lacrosse any chance we could. Early on, Shira somehow convinced Josh to wake up early and go on a run - it was our first "unofficial" date! Fast forward 9 years later, we're living our best lives in San Diego, got engaged in Hawaii with our friends, got married at a courthouse in 2021 during COVID, and now plan on celebrating our Jewish wedding with family and close friends on August 21st in Connecticut.
