“Brad and I grew up 2 miles away from one another, attended the same junior high, but we were finally introduced by mutual friends while attending La Costa Canyon High School. We dated in high school, spent many nights attending team unity parties with the lacrosse teams, stargazing in the Jetta, beach days, hours at LA Fitness, adventures to Canyon Lake and 2003 Prom. When Brad and I went away to college, we continued our friendship over the years, always knew where one another was, and what the other was doing. Whenever anything would happen, the first phone call would be to each other!
The real sparks didn’t start flying until November of 2012 when Brad was working with the Solana Beach Fire Department. The crew was planning to attend a Chargers game. Brad purchased 2 tickets and asked me to join, but only if I agreed to dinner. Upon comparing schedules, we realized the only time that we could do dinner was the very next night! We spent the evening touring Brad’s new neighborhood of Ocean Beach and indulging in Taco Tuesday. We clearly didn’t understand the popularity of Taco Tuesday, and found ourselves having more drinks than they did tacos [We’ve all been there, am I right?] We spent the entire evening enjoying our time together and while watching the sun come up, Brad called out of work and quickly peer pressured me to do the same so that they could spend the next day exploring La Jolla… 24 hours had gone by without either of us even realizing it.
Through the charismatic charm, contagious wit, and subtle hints of growing affection, I quickly won over Brad’s heart and Brad quickly won mine.”
