We first met in middle school, but didn't become close friends until the end of high school. Once we started attending Cal Poly, we became even closer, and by the start of Winter Quarter our freshman year we were inseparable. I guess you can say the rest was history!
On our way home from spending Christmas in New Mexico, we took a slight detour to visit the Grand Canyon. Alan suggested we hike down to the aptly named "Ooh Aah Point" under the guise of capturing some amazing sunset photos. We had the entire area to ourselves when Alan got down on one knee and asked to spend the rest of our lives together. There was much rejoicing and luckily neither of us fell down the cliff!
