How We First Met...

From Bumble to Buckshot

We first met like many couples these days on a dating app, but we quickly discovered that we actually both went to the same high school together -Derrick was a senior and Jill was a freshman at SI in San Francisco. After our first date at Bacon, Bacon Cafe in SF, it was pretty much love at first sight despite Derrick's Raider's hat :) Derrick was applying to medical school and Jill was finishing up her senior year of college, but they both made time to see each other as much as possible from spontaneous dates playing pool, grabbing Burmese food, and going to Buckshot or spending time at the occasional Santa Clara house party. When Derrick got into medical school in South Florida 8 months later, we planned a cross-country roadtrip from CA to Miami, decided to try a year of long distance, and haven't looked back since.
