We first met at a New Year’s Eve event in January 2014. Introduced by a mutual friend, we got to know each other. Toward the end of the night, a new friendship bloomed. We at least knew we had a couple of things in common our taste for music and that we both worked at the same grocery store. We didn’t get to hang out again until July 2014 when Mark reached out and asked if Ana would like to join him at the Warped Tour. Of course, Ana being Ana had to decide between laundry or a fun weekend. Well, we can see what she decided, that day was super fun for us. 

We continued to hang out; by August we knew we wanted to be more than friends. We got to go on one date before Ana headed to Mexico and by the time she was back we knew for sure that this wasn’t just a short-term thing. Well, it sure has been a ride from job changes, to Ana starting and graduating from college, concerts, weekend trips, and family time it sure has been a fun ride. By the time we say I do, it will be 9 years together.
