How I met Mountain Man

It all started with this guy...my best friend Austin Mischa...

We were hanging on the beach one day in Carnelian Bay, then he sniffed out this guy.....June 2015

This is Mountain Man. He's a great guy. Upon our first meeting we discussed our love for the mountains, our mutual interest in physical therapy, and even life goals. I even predicted his personality type  (similar to mine) because of how easy it was to talk to him. I asked for his number. 

Although he moved to Colorado for a summer/fall job we still kept in touch. After a few months, I was starting to wonder whether he would return. When he told me his plans were to stay there, I started to lose touch, thinking he wouldn't return. 

Until one day he called to tell me he was coming back to Sacramento. He couldn't find work. He asked to see me, and I invited him to visit me and my other dog friend Z. They hit it off. 

As did we. That week he asked if I was dating anyone else. I told him that he was at the top of my list. I sang him The Beatles and cooked yummy food for us. Then we had our first "date" as a couple.

And that was in December of 2015. Little did I know that we weren't going to be official until I passed the ultimate test... hanging with his homies...

And surviving the ski trip. I think pictures can tell you better in words the outcome of the test :)

 Then the ski trips continued...
