Their story began in December 2015 when the stars aligned and brought together two loving, highly intelligent, beautiful, and ridiculously funny people. After a series of intriguing conversations and witty banter...over text...Tarin and Jeff had their first date at Uncle Julio's where they bonded over their mutual love for chips and salsa. After sharing a lovely and flirty dinner together, it was time for Jeff to learn about the competitive, passionate, and ambitious side of Tarin's personality...so, she proceeded to annihilate him at a game of Top Golf. In spite of this humiliating defeat, the two quickly became inseparable, making time to be together as much as humanly possible while still remaining gainfully employed, attentive parents, and contributing members of society. Jeff and Tarin have spent every day of the last three and a half years cultivating a lasting and committed love, uniting their families, finding adventure, and experiencing life in a way that neither had ever known. Jeff and Tarin have created beautiful memories with each other and their children that will last a lifetime: swimming with dolphins in Isla Mujeres, Mexico; skiiing in Angel Fire, NM; sinking their toes into the white, soft sands of Destin, FL. Jeff and Tarin have grown together, teaching one another, and learning from one another. They have set a powerful example to their children of strength, dedication, love through joy as well as through pain, the priority of family, and the true meaning of happiness. In Tarin, Jeff has found a woman who challenges him, loves him so truly, makes him laugh (sometimes through tears) and makes every day exciting. In Jeff, Tarin has found a man who encourages her strength, adores her and beautiful children, matches her wit, and is her unfailing partner in this crazy, wonderful life. Their spark is tangible; their love evident to anyone in their presence. There is no denying, their favorite place on this Earth...is together.
