Our Story

We met at a bar...

In January 2016, Paul finished up a morning of duck hunting and headed up to Chico for a bite to eat at a popular gastropub downtown, B Street. It was NFL playoff season, the Packers were playing and the bar was crowded with locals cheering on hometown hero and Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Niki was there having brunch with a few friends...standing at the bar she noticed Paul - recognizing his camo hat with the California Waterfowl logo. Niki also grew up duck hunting with her Dad, so she knew that was her opportunity to strike uo a conversation. The rest, as they say, is history...they hit it off, had their first official date the next night at Crush Italian Cuisine, and were pretty much inseparable ever since. The only catch was that Paul lived in the Bay Area, and Niki lived in Chico. But despite the odds, they made it work and made the best of it.
