It’s the secret page we never thought we’d actually write, but…well…we did. Now you’ve found it, and now you’re reading this. So might as well…dunno…tell you about how we met and junk?

It was supposed to be a one off coffee date, neither of us thought it would be much more than that. Christopher was running late. As in actually running down Valencia Street to the coffee shop we’d agreed upon. This jog in a stylish though warm flannel shirt and jeans, coupled with an SF October heat wave left him a hot sweaty mess. Add on top of that the brilliant decision to have WARM COFFEE to drink and, well, it’s a shock Chadwick stuck around. He, of course, was impecibly dressed having come directly from work, and was wearing a vest, shirt/tie, and looked straight out of a catalog.

A sweaty (for Christopher at least) cup of coffee turned into a walk around the neighborhood, turned into hours sitting in Dolores Park talking and laughing.

Lot’s has happened between that night and this one - 12 years of building a home and life together, owning a dog, moving, traveling, being fortunate to have a community of friends we can call family. We’re so incredibly blessed to have each other and to learn and grow through all of you.

SCHMOOPY BULLSHIT OVER NOW.
