We'd like to thank the two matchmakers - Nancy and Bob Fredrickson and that first dinner at their house in August 2021. After a few dates and some fun times together, things really picked up when Veronica asked Jim if he'd like to go on a vacation together. Jim said yes and they were off to Costa Rica after dating for four months. Trips to Puerto Nuevo, June Lake, a Nashville/Memphis/Kentucky trifecta, Cabo and Boston, along with jaunts to No. Cal and Del Mar and Santa Anita have kept us busy since then, as well as seeing some great concerts over the past four years.

Jim popped the question at Aloha Steakhouse in November of 2024, and a fun Thanksgiving trip to Monterrey soon followed with an engagement ring on her finger!!

Unfortunately, we've both had to deal with the loss of loved ones, but we'd like to think that our relationship became stronger as we were able to weather these tough times together.
