Anthony and Alex technically met in the 4th grade.

Alex was always a CA girl, unknowingly waiting for her Arkansas cowboy.

They went to middle school and high school together, and were friends. Kind of. This stud was supposed to take Alex to a dance. He... **ahem**... dropped the ball on that one.

This could have all happened a long time ago!

They took very different paths for a few years.

And then after years of not talking, Anthony got a new puppy.

And decided to post a ridiculous photoshoot of him, that Alex couldn't ignore. (We all know he knew what he was doing).

Yes our little matchmaker, mister Goose, was once tiny enough to fit in this little bowl, and not the giant loving maniac he is today.

After lots of talking about our dogs, Anthony finally built up the courage to invite Alex to visit him in Napa.

A & A hit it off after months of long face times and phone calls.

And soon after a LOT of road trips and flights back and forth from Napa to LA...

A & A fell in love. And so did our fur babies! We couldn't keep our family apart any more.

We had a lot of adventures in Napa - and way too much wine.

And took a lot of scenic NorCal road trips with the pups.

And oops... sorry no one (except Channing) was invited to this part...

But ultimately we decided we missed 70 and sunny, and our best friends and family.

And we needed to move back! (This is your unofficial invite to visit us any time in San Diego - we're still exploring!)

We are so excited to celebrate with our favorite people - our friends and family - now!

With love - Pumpkin, Goose, Alex, & Anthony
