Rob and Monica met through mutual friend, Billy Brownell, in late 2012. After a couple group hang outs Monica gained the courage to ask Rob out on a date. They went to Belmont Brewery and during debated on either going to see Jurassic Park in theaters or go to second street and get some drinks. Monica was a little nervous so part of her wanted to see the movie so she didn't have to worry about making conversation. She left the decision up to Rob and he decided to go get some drinks. They went to Shannons and ended up talking all night, having great conversation! Was a fun night that lead to many other dates.

After months of dating, Monica and Rob went to a Pearl Jam concert and made it official, November 20, 2013!

Through the years Monica and Rob loved to travel and spend quality time together. From weekly date nights to traveling to San Diego, Santa Barbara, Seattle, Portland, Arizona, Colorado, Cruise to Ensenada, Rosarito, Las Vegas, festivals and so much more!

In November 2016 Monica and Rob moved to the Big Island! They first took a month vacation traveling each Island for a week and found their way back to Kona to settle down. Here their relationship grew and on August 21, 2017 Rob proposed to Monica at the top of Mauna Kea, 14,000 feet high at sunset!
