We met during the summer of 2020. Thankfully, Baxter was cute enough for Ivelisse to take a chance on a long haired guy. At the very least, she might have been able to pet a cute dog! One date led to another, and even though Ivelisse showed up to the second date 45 minutes late, there was a third... and a fourth... By Thanksgiving, we were spending the whole weekend together and as the calendar turned in 2021, we started discussing our future. After a lot of searching we found ourselves a house in June 2021. After a year of making our house a home, we got engaged under the sunset at Moonlight Beach in San Diego.
