The Story of Us

Before there was you, there was us.

Us happened in 2011, or 2012…depending on who you ask.

In September 2011 a mutual friend invited us both to a dinner at a local restaurant called First Street Ale House in Livermore.  As luck would have it, we sat down next to each other as strangers and ended the night as fast friends.
Where we met!
Eventually, your dad friended me on facebook, and later on, agreed to meet up with me for lunch.

It was the best date.  We talked for 3 hours.

And then your dad never called me...  I’m sure one day he’ll tell you his side of that story.

I saw him again at a party in November, but the timing still wasn't quite right.

Our “second first date” happened in January 2012.  We went to Bridges Restaurant in Danville and had another great evening.

Our next dinner together (back at Ale House) a few days later your dad asked me to be his girlfriend.

That night we had our first kiss.

And nine months later we were engaged on October 13th, 2012.

Our engagement pics!

Eleven months later we were married on August 31, 2013 at Wente Vineyards in front of 200 of our closest family and friends.

Best night ever
