Above is the first picture we ever took together on a chilly January day. We met for our first date in Central Park NYC and it was fun, smiles, and laughter and some writing on a notepad. We found a lot to talk about and a shared love of the movies, so we went to see one that same night!

We both really enjoy watching sports as well, and took in a few basketball games in New York area, including being some of the only Iowa Hawkeye fans in a hostile Rutgers basketball arena (this pic is at Barclays Center for the ACC Basketball Tournament)!

After moving in together in New York City, we decided it was time for some new scenery and warmer year-round weather, so we made the decision to move to San Diego, California. We took an epic road trip to get to our new home, stopping to see friends and sights along the way.
