We met in high school when Patrick was a senior and I was a junior. We actually shared a math class together and weren't big fans of one another. Patrick has admitted that he thought I was pretty but "too bossy" and that he used to park his street bike by my Scion TC everyday because he thought it was cool. Patrick would show up late to class everyday so naturally I thought that was annoying. Fast forward about 5ish months and we ran into each other in SanDiego California. He stole my heart when he sprinted into the ocean and did the "Patrick Star".

Patrick surprised me and proposed in our backyard the night before we had a trip planned to California. We planned to take Ting to the beach for the very first time and stay in a cozy airbnb. Right after the proposal our families came over and celebrated with us and then we spent the next few days on the beach with our baby.

Ting has been our baby for the past 8 years and has been through so much with us. I got Ting when I was a senior in high school. Patrick and I were still fairly new in our relationship so when I told him I was going to bring a dog home he thought I was absolutely insane. He said that my parents would be mad and make me give Ting back. Long story short I had my parents rolling around on the floor with Ting within 5 minutes of bringing him home and Patrick was SHOCKED. He's been our baby ever since, from our first apartment to our first home, and now our wedding!
