It all began in 2020 in San Luis Obispo, California — where two paths crossed and quickly became one. What started as a simple introduction soon turned into building a life side by side at Cal Poly, SLO. Together, we earned our degrees, grew up, and discovered we had found something truly lasting. After graduation, life led us in different directions — to Tahoe and San Diego — as we pursued new opportunities and career dreams. Though miles separated us for nearly two years, distance only strengthened us. Eventually, Tom made the move to Tahoe, and we spent a year embracing every adventure together — beach days, boating, hiking trails, and snowy ski weekends. Now, six years after it all began, we’re continuing to build our life in Virginia and preparing to return to the place where our story first started. San Luis Obispo will always be more than a college town to us — it’s where we found each other.
