I guess you could say Julius and Danielle's story started before they even meet. A few months before meeting, Danielle went to an angel reader with her mom and sister. Danielle asked the reader about her love life and the insight the woman gave was surprising. She said Danielle was going to meet someone truly wonderful and special through the workplace. Danielle's response in her head was, “Ya sure. Because elementary schools are always walking around with cute single guys.”

Fast forward a few months later, Danielle landed a teaching position at Academie Da Vinci. Julius was working at the school as an ELP assistant. From the moment Julius “carried in Danielle's rug for her", she was smitten. After months of quick conversations (most of the time asking if the other person would set the alarm), Danielle finally had the courage to ask Julius to a Harlem Globetrotters basketball game. Julius then followed by asking Danielle on their first date, a delicious dinner at one of the local favorite Italian restaurants. The rest is history.

With their crazy busy schedules, Danielle and Julius simply enjoy and cherish the time they spend together. Most of their weekends consist of relaxing with family, watching basketball games, and almost always consists of a nap. They also enjoy working out together, going to grab a quick bite to eat, or taking a walk together in Phillippe Park (a common quarantine activity).

Even though Danielle and Julius are different in many ways, their hearts, values, and work ethic are one in the same. They couldn't picture their lives without each other. Danielle and Julius can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together and continue many more adventures.
