Ernest and Erika met in 2010. At that time Erika was attending Cal State San Bernardino and Ernest had moved back home from San Diego. Ernest and Erika's first date was at CSUSB when Erika asked Ernest if he wanted to attend a Physics lecture with her. They didn't stay for the whole lecture, instead they went to the Student Game Room and played Halo and snacked on gross cafeteria food. From that moment, Ernest was hooked on Erika and Physics!
