We originally met on Halloween in 2012 but I remember meeting him later that year at a Christmas party. When I introduced myself he said, "We've already met."
We dated briefly and decided we were better off as friends. When he moved to nearby Walnut Creek I offered to show him all my favorite hangouts. We went out in groups, dined at all the local spots, traveled with friends, and attended festivals and concerts all over the Bay Area. On a walk one day he asked if we could try dating again. I gave him another chance and 9 years later here we are!

Nine years later and we are proud of the life we've built together. We share the same passion for travel, adventure, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
One of the things we both love is wine! We are lucky to live close to wine country and visit often. Last September Adam wanted to visit a new winery for the day. We headed to Artesa Winery and when we arrived our table wasn't ready. We explored the grounds and stopped at a pool overlooking the hills and vineyards. We asked an employee to take our picture and a photographer offered to snap some pics too. As we turned to smile into the camera, Adam got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. He had planned the whole thing from the employees telling us our reservation was late and hiring a photographer to capture the moment.
It was the perfect proposal in a beautiful setting to start this new chapter in our lives.
