We met as bus drivers, our routes crossed paths amidst the chaos. A friendly nod turned into shared jokes and soon we found ourselves coordinating schedules to spend more time together. The rhythm of our lives mirrored the beat of our growing connection, and before we knew it, the camaraderie transformed into a love story. From navigating routes to navigating our life together, our journey as bus drivers led us to a destination we never expected.

Not too long after meeting, COVID started shutting everything down and we suddenly had much more time to get to know each other. As we chatted about our interests, we quickly realized our love for the open road and the thrill of riding.

Soon, we were swapping stories about our favorite rides, discussing the best routes, and sharing our dreams of owning that perfect bike.

Weekend rides and impromptu adventures became our escape from the routine, creating memories as we explored the highways and scenic routes together.

As passionate sports enthusiasts, we eagerly awaited the NHL's announcement of the Seattle Kraken's introduction in 2019. By its second year, the Kraken found themselves in the Stanley Cup playoffs, facing off against the Colorado Avalanche in the first round. While Tori reveled in Seattle's new team, her unwavering allegiance remained with the Colorado Avalanche. Regrettably, the Avalanche fell short in that initial round, yet we found solace in witnessing the Kraken advance to the next stage.
