In early October 2016, we had both recently gotten out of other relationships and were not looking to jump into a new commitment. Needless to say, we didn't want our first date at a ramen restaurant (that I worked for at the time) and an evening trip to the beach to end. I knew from that day that Quinten was going to be a very important person in my life...it took him a little bit longer to realize that! ;) On May 20, 2017 we got into a near-death car accident in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Quinten's truck flipped several times in the air and then landed on my side in a ditch. The roof had completely caved in on my side, missing my head by an inch. Quinten pulled me out of the truck and I started crying because his truck was ruined. Quinten then started crying and told me he just realized how terrified he was at the thought of losing me. He told me he loved me in the tow truck later that day, I said it back, and the rest is history.
