How We Met

Always Make The Drive!

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to click on the link and follow the LOVE STORY of Jennifer and Ed. Their story begins in November of 2016 with a simple "Friend Suggestion" on Facebook. As Ed saw the name "Jennifer Balch" and her photo come across his Facebook page, he was taken back to high school. Ed immediately remembered seeing Jennifer as she walked across campus, throughout the halls, or as she made her way to the soccer fields. Ed was overcome with excitement and wonder. As he pondered the idea, he just knew he had to send her a "Friend Request" and see if she would accept. I mean Ed was a varsity athlete and they had several mutual friends, how could she not at least remember his name.....Well, she didn't! Jennifer accepted the "Friend Request" and sent Ed a message stating "I'm sorry but I don't remember you. Did you play any sports?" As Ed read the message Jennifer sent to him, he was crushed; however, Jennifer did accept the request and she did reach out. Ed now had his work cut out for him. Ed and Jennifer would continue to talk throughout the month of November. As they slowly developed a friendship, Ed decided to make his move. Jennifer, her twin boys, and her mom were going to Disneyland and would be staying at a hotel nearby. Jennifer slipped and told Ed where they were staying. Ed was able to order two dozen red roses and had them delivered to Jennnifer's room while she was at Disneyland. When she returned to her room, there they were! Two dozen long stem red roses. After first explaining to her mom who the roses were from, Jennifer called Ed. Ed and Jennnifer spoke for about 30 minutes and decided a meet up in person was due. On Sunday, December 4th 2016, Ed and Jennifer met for a glass of wine at the Epoch Wine bar in San Elijo Hills. Over the next several months Jennnifer and Ed would embark on a journey no one ever expected, not even them, and would fall in love with each other's LOBSTER.
