Talk about a long game! Our story began way back in 2006 when we first became friends. Life took us on different paths, and we lost touch when Mina headed off to UC Davis. Fast forward 12 years, Mina texted to see if Josh had the same phone number. She will say it was out of the blue but if you ask Josh, she was finally responding to an unanswered text from a few years earlier. We reconnected, started dating, and have been long distance for nearly six years. Now, we're excited to finally be under the same roof and in the same zip code. It's safe to say, if we hadn't kept those same phone numbers, our story might have taken a very different turn!
