Their love story began in the summer of 2017 with a single swipe to the right from the both of them. Jason had recently uprooted his life from the Central Valley to begin a new firefighting career in San Diego and Christina was in the midst of her undergraduate studies at CSUSM. Neither of them expected much from the dating app— Jason wanted to meet new people in the area and Christina simply wanted to pass time outside of studying. After “matching,” they began getting to know each other through messages and texts until finally meeting weeks later for their first dinner date. When Christina arrived at the restaurant, she scanned the room for a young clean-shaven man but saw no one she recognized. Moments later she sees a man with a thick mustache waving his hands from the outside patio- it was Jason with a big smile on his face. Despite being “catfished,” Christina quickly got a sense of Jason’s humor and kindheartedness when she learned he had waited hours for her ocean view seat. From that day forward, their love for each other began to grow and their lives forever changed.
