Four short years ago, Phoebe & Jake (PB&J) met for drinks on a hot August Houston summer day. They quickly bonded over escaping the northeastern winters, their similar senses of humor, and their love for dogs. Both working for Exxon at the time, Phoebe did not shy away from IM’ing Jake all through the workday, making sure he did not get away. They volunteered each Saturday at a local dog rescue, where they eventually adopted their two dogs, Kesha and Grotto, completing their Texas core four. The four are happily living in Texas, bouncing between Houston & Austin, while Jake gets his MBA. They can’t wait for a life together, and all of the adventures yet to come.
