Story
The first time we had a glimpse into each other's lives was as a result of a little app called Bumble. For those that don't know what Bumble is, it's a dating app that brings people together in which the girl has to make the "first move" by sending the initial message. Without Bumble, the likelihood of us meeting would have been VERY slim because we lived 100 miles away from each other and had no friends in common. Bumble brought us together and luckily we both swiped right; which is where our story begins.
We first started talking about our love for the outdoors and hiking which evolved into our first date. We decided to meet at Golden Gate Fields in Oakland to attend the horse races... a first time experience for us both! We agreed if the first part of the date went well, we'd finish the date by hiking in the Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park. Let's just say the first date went very well because we decided, instead of heading home after our hike, to continue our date by watching the 49ers game together. Our first date felt different because we connected on a deeper level than on any date before it. It was a special day for both of us and neither of us wanted it to end. The date lasted 13 hours and was the longest date either of us had ever been on.
The first date was just the beginning of many firsts and adventures together. We had our first New Year's Eve in San Francisco, our first weekend trip to Trinidad, CA, experienced our first Valentine's Day, and had many trips to Monterey, CA where we ultimately fell in love. The more time we spent with one another, the easier it was to see that we were two peas in a pod and our love was and is everlasting. ❤️
