It all started when two individuals happened to swipe right. Within a couple of weeks of chatting the infamous first date was made at Torrey Pines Sate Park. Nothing sets the mood of together forever like a sunset picnic hike along the beachside cliffs. Both have always had a passion for music, outdoors, and traveling and within just a couple of months of dating they took a big leap and combined all three passions camping at Joshua Tree Music Festival.

Clearly it worked because before you know it they decided to push each other to obtain their Bachelor Degrees by heading off together for the magical Redwood Coast of Humboldt, a special place in their hearts. After a few years their hearts longed to experience more adventure, as if moving 765 miles to the complete opposite end of California wasn't enough for them, they packed up & headed for their next destination - Colorful Colorado. There they explored the wonderous Rockies, made lifelong friends, and even adopted their third fur child Obi Wan. You would think they would have wanted to settle down and stay a while, but why do that when the ultimate outdoors were calling - the great Evergreen state of Washington. Settling in to Seattle was a wild ride as COVID hit within 3 months of their arrival, therefore they devoted weekends to exploring the forests with Obi Wan in tow and minimal people in sight. From camping in the Redwoods, dancing to funky jazz at Red Rocks, to hiking along Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound, Torrie and Michael have grown together and shared too many memories to share with all you saps in writing.

Due to working from home all 2020, in January 2021 these two crazies decided to pack up their Mercer Island apartment into a tiny storage unit near the city, put all animals and bare essentials in their two cars and move "temporarily" to San Diego. Shortly after arriving life altering events happened within their families so it became evident that it was better to postpone the celebration by a year and that going back to Seattle was going to be very difficult. It is safe to say that being near family longer then 5 days for the first time in over 5 years was surreal and brought new experiences that will go in the treasure chest of memories. From camping with Torrie's sisters, bon fires on Fiesta Island, to riding ebikes 30 miles up the coast - these two are making San Diego their foreseeable future for long term living. All that said - we are excited for you to be a part of this amazing adventure we're on and share the celebration in the one where Brickley and Lyons become Lyonsley
