Valerie and Marcos met in Chicago at Brookdale, a senior living facility on the job not expecting anything more than a normal day. One conversation turned into another - playing Among Us, talking about exercise science research, and about our plans for grad school. Their friendship really kicked off when Valerie needed a phone charger (her phone is always dead to this day...) and it became that Marcos would bring the phone charger all the time - he claims it was because he needed it but we know the real reason. From there, they went to a Mexican restaurant nearby one day after work and the rest is history!
