December 3, 2022 USA Soccer was set to play the Netherlands in the World Cup. A local bar in Hermosa Beach was hosting a watch party for the 7AM match. Brooks & his good friend Mick set off for the pier around 6AM to meet up with some buddies for some breakfast beers and to watch the game. I also had plans to meet up with some girlfriends for soccer & mimosas but when my 6:30 am alarm went off I was so close to rolling back over and going back to sleep. Luckily my girlfriends Kennedy & Dalas convinced me to get up and get down to the bars. I eventually met up with the group around 7:15 and when I walked up, I immediately noticed the cute guy in the corner smiling & laughing. I asked a few friends around what his name was, but no one I asked knew (Lol). Dalas had a good idea to have us sit down next to him once the spot on the couch opened up. We sat & introduced ourselves & immediately hit it off. Our group decided to hang around for a bit after to game so Brooks & I had more time to get to know each other :) Wasting no time, Brooks called me the next day & invited me to the Rams vs. Sea Hawks game at Sofi! I was so excited to get to spend more time with him. After 2 back-to-back days of laughing & getting to know each other, it was truly after that first date we were inseparable & the rest is history!
