They officially met at 16 years old, although Rafa will say that he fell in love with Emma the first day that he laid eyes on her, in Sophomore year algebra, where he sat in the desk behind her all year long. Ask his family about "The Girl from Math Class" Once officially introduced in their Junior year, the two were fast friends. Emma loved how charismatic and outgoing Rafa was, and Rafa loved that he was finally getting to know "The Girl from Math Class". They had a friend group in common, but always gravitated towards each other separately from the group. Emma drove him home from every single varsity soccer game in the 2018-2019 season! Rafa thought that she was just being a "good friend"... What do you know- they started dating in April that year! The two quickly became inseparable, and finished out high school as a package deal. They both decided to become Fightin' Texas Aggies (A WHOOP!), and moved on over to College Station, Texas! Despite the many claims that you should never take your high school sweetheart to college- they were inseparable! They made new friends together, laughed together, cried together, and they grew up together. Four exciting years of college flew by, and the two learned more about each other every day from their teens into their twenties- and fell more in love with each other every day too. Rafa and Emma both graduated with their Bachelor of Science degrees and moved back to where they met in San Antonio! Now, they are starting their careers, both within medical sales, and they live in their apartment with their cat Brady and their frog Bean! Rafa and Emma always say that they would never be the same man and woman that they are today without their best friend and counterpart. The privilege of watching each other grow into who they are has been the most special thing in the world. They know that in sophomore year of high school, when Rafa first laid eyes on "The Girl From Math Class", that was God winking and saying "There's your future wife".
