Then, after a botched first date (turns out, when Joseph is nervous, he doesn't talk and when Brandon is nervous, all he does is talk), they decided to give it one more shot with a second date at Wakamono. The second time was the charm. Even though Brandon was annoyed that Joseph couldn't eat any of the food he wanted to order (no salmon + no shrimp = no good sushi according to Brandon), they were able to move past each other's nervous tendencies and had a great time.

The next five years brought adventures to Texas, California, Panama, Mexico, and India and, perhaps their biggest adventure until marriage, the adoption of their beagle, Quincy.

Details coming soon!
