After years of friendship, Matt and Annie, like many people, were apart during quarantine. In late 2020, they decided to meet for a hike to catch up. Over the next few months, they hiked many beautiful Bay Area trails and enjoyed lots of meals together. They got to know more about each other and the things they both wanted in life. Slowly, this friendship blossomed into something more, but they didn’t discuss it and instead…Matt moved away. Fast forward one year, Matt saw the error in his ways and moved back :) Since then, they have spent 2 wonderful years getting to know each others’ families, traveling, and learning about each other’s interests (dancing for Annie and 49ers football for Matt). Matt has become a wonderful stepdad to Dylan and Emilio. They are looking forward to a lifetime of adventures and memories together!
