We met in college while trying to pass an impossible calculus class. We both failed the class... but there were fist bumps exchanged for surviving. We celebrated the end of the semester with pizza and the movie Turbo, and from there we both sort of thought "Okay, this could be something special".
We went on a vacation to Lopez Island where Kristin spent the best years of her childhood. There was a place called Shark Reef Sanctuary which had been a favorite spot to visit growing up. Essentially you follow a hiking trail through the woods to a beautiful rock reef overlooking the pacific ocean, with sea lions playing in the waves and sun bathing on the rocks. We biked 13 miles around the island to reach the reef and JT proposed at the edge of the cliff while we were taking in the view.
