We met at the kookiest of places, a camp for UCLA Alumni and their families, Bruin Woods. Lauren was working at the Bear and Grill (aka eating fried food all day and navigating customers away from ordering oreo milkshakes) and Garrett was a Kodiak counselor (aka getting paid to play kick ball with 9 and 10 year olds). Garrett would strategically make his campers meet outside of the Bear and Grill so he could casually run in to “get a gatorade” but really he just wanted to say “sup” to Lauren. Garrett has always been super smooth (lol). After that summer ended, Lauren was convinced Garrett would never talk to her now that he was an “adult” (that’s what happens when you graduate college right?), but Garrett had other plans. After “hanging out” for the first couple of months after Lauren went back to UCLA Garrett was tired of being introduced as her friend and officially asked her out. Fast forward a casual decade and that’s where we are today. Baking bread and chilling in the south bay stoked for what life has in store.
