Nathan, his best friend Nick, and Griffey were walking to a cookout in Clarendon after enjoying a beautiful day in the PNC Diamond Club at the Nationals' game. As they passed 136 N Brookside Drive, Griffey somehow "escaped" Nathan's handle and started running towards a pretty blonde girl who was making her way into the house there. Ever the charmer, Griffey proceeded to jump all over her and try to get into her house. As Nathan would find out when he finally caught up to Griffey, the girl's name was Kelly. They chatted for a minute, and after a little encouragement from Nick, eventually exchanged phone numbers. After a few dates it was becoming clear to both of them that there was something potentially serious about their relationship. They loved spending time with each other, being active, and enjoying all that the DC area had to offer. Nathan loved how funny Kelly was, and Kelly loved that Nathan could cook. When Nathan received a job offer in California, they moved West together for an adventure. Now they enjoy bringing Griffey to the beach and exploring all the Bay Area and West Coast have to offer. They look forward to starting their next adventure with all of you as they tie the knot this December.
