The Early Years Phil and Sally met in 2005 in Spanish class at Redwood High School. Five years later they rekindled their friendship at a 4th of July party in Santa Barbara. A summer fling turned into something more serious after Sally left to study in Barcelona and they kept in touch via lengthy Facebook messages. Fast forward to Feb 13, 2010 when they became “official”. They spent the remainder of college traveling back and forth from San Diego and Santa Barbara to camp, follow Bassnectar, and eat Freebirds. Pre-Adulting After college, Sally postponed real life to move to Santa Barbara with Phil and his 6 roommates and survive off Natural Café and 90s music. After deciding adulting was the next best move, she relocated to San Francisco, where Phil joined her the next year to train to become a commercial pilot. Adulting Phil and Sally moved into (i.e. crammed) a junior one bedroom where they admired Pekingese and other fluffy dogs from a distance. They established an absolutely fantastic group of friends, adopted “phally” as a couple name, and set sights on forever together. The Proposal On Sally’s 30th birthday weekend, Phil and Sally went on a hike on one of their favorite trails. While at a viewpoint, Phil gave Sally a composition notebook they had been passing back and forth since their 21st birthdays. The card ended on a photo of them dressed as grandparents and Phil got down on one knee. Sally ugly-cried a lot and the rest is history.
