We met on a little app called Bumble and texted back and forth for a few days. Our first date was at Amy’s Drive-Thru and we immediately clicked, talking for hours. And our next date was a fun-filled movie night! The following weekend the Tubbs Fire started, and Julian woke Emily at 2:00 AM to tell her to evacuate immediately. Emily went to her parents and Julian stayed in Santa Rosa to help others stay safe, so we were back to texting. When Emily returned Julian was waiting at her apartment to help with the clean-up of no electricity for over a week. We've had lots of highs like Julian landing a dream job with EA and adopting our puppy, Asterix, and a few lows, Emily losing her job during the pandemic and having to make do with a backup plan for the short term. We connect on so many levels from art and culture to the silliest of things like board games and Broadway. We can’t wait to see what our next chapter holds.
