If you have heard this story before, you all know Vanessa made the first move. Here's how it went down.... It's freshman year at San Diego State, Nick has on his frat tank & skateboard in hand (such a tool). He was on the fence about getting involved in organizations outside of fraternity. However, after a phone call with the leader of the Aztec Pride organization, Nick said he would give it a try. At the upcoming meeting, Nick showed up late...like 20 minutes late, per usual. He noticed Vanessa across the conference room table and said to himself, "WOW, this girl talks a lot...but she has a great smile." Throughout the rest of the meeting, Nick had a hard time focusing, not sure if it was because he was so attracted to her or because she talked so damn much. After the meeting was dismissed, everyone had the opportunity to say hello. Naturally, Nick's biceps were glistening in the sunlight shining through the windows & that was Vanessa's cue to make her move. She walked up to him and introduced herself, saying, "Hi, I'm Vanessa" and gave him a huge hug. Suddenly, Nick had a lot more time on his hands, because from that point on, he joined all of the organizations that Vanessa was in. The two remained friends for just over a year, until their relationship rekindled in December 2015 when Nick asked Vanessa to coffee. Time went on, this time the two stayed more connected after winter break and into the new semester, when they officially started dating in May 2016. Five and a half years later, here we are!♥
