We met in the summer of 2015 in Austin, Texas. At the time, Dan was a vet tech on a mobile vet clinic called Emancipet...fondly referred to as "The Mobile". Monica joined The Mobile that summer as a vaccine tech. Through the rest of 2015, we worked grueling, often 15-hour days together, and grew to be close friends. We bonded over our similar sense of humor, Dan’s cooking, and our love of animals. Monica’s favorite days at work were the ones she was working with Dan, as she always ended up laughing until there were tears streaming down her face. One summer night in 2016, Dan gave Monica a ride home after a work event. Before getting out of the car, Monica and Dan shared a kiss. We spent the rest of that summer hiking, camping, kayaking, and swimming together. We fell in love, and the rest is history…
