We met in San Diego in August 2012. As we were both beginning our careers, we worked in the same office building and were introduced by James' coworker. Our first date was to the night time hours at San Diego Zoo and finished with pizza in Little Italy. We enjoyed making each other laugh and found mutual interests in spending time outdoors, music, sports, traveling, and exercising.

There have been many incredible memories over the last ten years. We moved from San Diego to the Bay Area, have seen each other grow and been through ups and downs. We look forward to continuing our life journey as best friends, raising a family and all the wonderfully exciting things the future holds for us.
