Let's just say Washington State University didn't just give us our degrees - GO COUGS! Thanks to a mutual friend, it all started with a "WHO'S THAT?!" and the rest is history. The moments in between consisted of sharing gloves as the shorts-and-sandal-Cali-boy showed up to sled down snowy hills on lunch trays, numerous games of Zombies and Mario Kart, and "sharing" Women Studies papers. Going on seven years later, we will always be grateful for the great Palouse!

After holding on to the ring for over a year... On a sunny LA Christmas Eve, surrounded by both of our families, Dominic dropped down on one knee and I blacked out to repeat anything he said. All I remember is thinking to myself, "this is finally it, it's happening. I'm going to marry my best friend" with an overwhelming feeling of excitement.
