How we met...

"I've known you my whole life."

Our story is a lifetime of missed connections, perfect timing, and fate... Stories like this are said to be called twin flames or mirrored souls, when one soul splits into two bodies that find each other. We have actually been somewhat connected our whole lives. Early in our relationship, Brian was showing Kristal old family photos at his parents house and she recognized a familiar face. It turns out that Kristal and her younger sister Shari were babysat by Brian's God mother's sister, but we do not remember if they met as kids. In our teen years we both went to the same high school but never crossed paths. We also worked at the same local movie theater but never became friends because we worked in different departments. Even into our adulthood we went to the same bars, there is even a photo of us dancing and drinking together from 2009 captured by a photographer. Neither one of us remembers the interaction. Fast forward ten years later in 2019 we met through a dating app and hit it off. Our similar sense of humor, love for travel, and spontaneous adventure brought us together and life has been amazing so far!
