Ryan and Lexi both attended Marsh Jr. High School in 2006. They had Student Government together and shared mutual friends. They attended separate high schools, Ryan at Pleasant Valley and Lexi at Chico High School.

It wasn't until 2016 when their paths crossed again. Ryan and his sister Lindsey were out celebrating Ryan's 6th year cancer free when they sat next to Lexi after a shift at Tres Hombres downtown. Shortly there after, Lexi noticed a regular who would frequent her cocktails tables, you guessed it; Ryan!

Ryan asked Lexi to be his girlfriend at midnight on New Years Eve in Lake Almanor, where the two grew to enjoy many trips together as the years would pass.

Ryan and Lexi supported, encouraged and fought for each other as they grew their careers. Ryan creating and growing RL Rice, and Lexi pursing her dream of becoming a teacher.

Ryan proposed to Lexi 7 years later where it all began; while cutting down their perfect Christmas tree in Lake Almanor. The future is bright and the best is yet to come!
