Our Wedding

Our first exchange... Charles: What'd you think of the quiz?Christine: *looks around the hallway to see no one else*Christine: Are you talking to me?? We started in physics, then graduated as engineers. We were each other's gaming partner, tennis partner, climbing partner, and partner in crime. At some point we tried living together and just continued doing so. Meals were cooked for each other. Laughs and tears were shared. Sesame accidentally came into our life and, well, never left. Eventually, Flux came into our life, and well, also never left. We never actively planned on getting married, but someone started to look at rings and asking for the other's opinion. Later a ring was purchased together but stored away for some time. One evening we decided to go for a hike. Christine must have been out of shape or something. She was sweaty and so tired. Charles was trying to rush her in order to catch the sunset. We sat on the cliff with the sunset in front of us. Charles pulled out a ring. Christine doesn't know how to react and punches him. There were some tears as well, but in the end, she said yes. Some months passed, and now we're here :)

We kept trying to apply physics to win fair games

Rigged Fair Games

Expanded our family with some dogs!

Sesame and Flux!

Christine almost got blown off the Golden Gate Bridge when we did a bike ride in San Francisco

Blown Away

Hiking this really put our relationship to the test 💀

First snow with the dogs

Charles has encouraged Christine to climb to the top. Celebrate the wins. Charles stayed encouraging as Christine was stuck at the top and was close to crying because she was too scared to come down.

Climbing

Covid didn't stop us from having dates. We went to the backyard to do that shit. And well, so did sesame.

Covid Date

Our first big backpacking adventure in Colorado :)

Rocky Mountains!

Charles lost his glasses at the bottom of the waterfall and never expected to find them again. But with the use of Christine's toes, she found them.

Hawaii Trip!

Christine and Charles separate as one of us wanted to walk for days.

Charles is off on the PCT!

Charles rode so many roller coasters because Christine wanted to have some fun. We went during the work week expecting it to be EMPTY. Oh ...how we were so wrong. Middle schools and high schools apparently all decided to bring their orchestra and band students to Knotts. We said EFF this, especially after a kid tried to tell me that we cut him. Christine stared him down and went ahead. Then we bought fast passes and rode 8 coasters that day.
