They met in undergrad at UTSA in 2013 through AAPG, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists student chapter. She wanted to reinstate the chapter and the former President was Sebastian! They met over beers to talk about chapter responsibilities and from there, their story began. They realized they were both training for races (her first half-marathon and his first ironman) so they ran together. From there, runs became runs + picnics, then picnics became dinners, then dinners became dates :) They did long distance twice in their relationship. When Sebastian did his masters at UT and when Mimi moved to Houston to start her job. They also lived together in Colorado for her MS and his PhD. There, they hiked, studied, stayed up late writing, dog-sat, and brewed beer amongst other things. Now, here they are, living in Houston and both enjoying the post-school life! It’s finally time for them to tie the knot. They wanted to get married in the desert of West Texas but it would be too difficult, so let’s enjoy the theme of the desert in the beautiful hill country of Texas.
