Our story began in the fall of 2009. Tim was a sophomore at California Baptist University and Vanessa was beginning her senior year of high school. Vanessa's friend reached out one evening stating she had met the guy who was her "soulmate", and if you knew her friend, then you know she also told the same thing to Tim! Skype and texting conversations began, but Vanessa and Tim didn't officially meet until the summer of 2010 in Seattle, WA. Communication between the two was hit or miss (the miss was mostly Vanessa's fault!) until the Spring of 2015 when Vanessa began reaching out (Tim said it was him who started the conversation back up but we all know his memory isn't that great!). Fast forward to that summer and Vanessa was moving back out to California and the two were offically dating. In 2016 Vanessa and Tim made the decision to move their lives to the PNW. Tim proposed on December 24, 2017 in Sedona, AZ, and the rest is history!
