We met through Pete's friends/ Jacqui’s cousins in Sacramento. Both of us were new to our cities - Pete had just moved to Sacramento and Jacqui had just moved to Berkeley. We felt a spark as soon as we met and the rest was history… almost. We always stayed connected and between 2015 and 2018, we both noticed that we shared similar hobbies and interests as we both love hiking, being outdoors in general, and traveling. Even though we weren’t together we individually felt connected because we both traveled to similar destinations like Paris, Monterey, and did the same hikes around Northern California within months of each other. It wasn’t until June 2018 when we were both out in Sacramento and ran into each other. We locked eyes from across the restaurant and had to speak to each other. It started with a few dates that turned into weekend adventures up and down the California coast and now our life together in Davis.
