Sarah grew up in Healdsburg Ca and Ross found himself settled there in 2005 where he worked at a winery and later found himself tending bars. The most recent Ca bar Ross worked at, The Elephant in the Room in Healdsburg, was where Sarah first talked to Ross. Ross, behind the bar, gave a red rose to Sarah’s friend and to Sarah. Sarah had recognized Ross about their small community but had never talked to him before. This was the beginning of something but neither of them knew it yet. On a dating site, Sarah recognized Ross and messaged him asking if he recognized her from the bar (he did) and from here they had a first date at a coffee shop and they immediately felt like old friends. Sparks flew on the second date when Ross met Sarah at a Sushi restaurant yielding a hand-crafted Axe as a gift for Sarah. Sarah, instead of running for the hills, intriguingly accepted the axe/scary gift and they proceeded to have one of the best dates: eating sushi and talking for hours. From here, dates proceeded out to tennis courts (they both like to play tennis) and restaurants in the area (they both like to eat amazing food), going to beaches and concerts as well was a favorite pastime. Since the beginning, they have tended a little farm where they lived (provided the yield to community members), survived fires and the Pandemic, and moved to Oregon to be closer to family. They now live with their beloved cats and work and thrive in their new community but they will never forget their old community.. where they met each other, and before this, circled around each other like orbiting planets, living and working amongst community members, great friends and family.
