Kristina and Mikey

Mike and Kristina first met when Kristina was moving into her new apartment in the inner Richmond area of SF. She was parking her BMW in the garage and Mike was "chilling" downstairs. He tried to help her carry the stuff she was moving upstairs and she refused the help.  Kristina remembers how weird it was that this bro was trying to be so helpful but wasn't smiling at all. 

Mike and Kristina went on an official first date in late 2011 and officially started dating in November 2011. Mike took her to Mandalay Restaurant which was Burmese food nearby to their apartment in inner Richmond. Kristina was highly offended when he wouldn't let her split the bill.

In late Nov 2011 Mike too Kristina out with his friends for Karaoke. Here's Kristina's video taped evidence that she sent to friends at the time - her and her friends were all in shock. Mike, on the other hand, was fairly annoyed that he was recorded.

Mike and Kristina met when she was working at Ernst and Young which meant brutal long hours. Here's the only EY work event Mike was forced to go to - the December 2012 Christmas party.

June 2013 Kristina told Mike to come upstairs and meet her foster puppy. He was allergic to dogs and highly against getting one. The foster puppy became Barley, their foster failure. Barley quickly wedged her way into Mike's heart and, somehow, Mike's dog allergies miraculously resolved.

One of the first trips Mike and Kristina ever took together was to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. It was a surprise for Kristina who LOVES beer. They worked together to make their pretzel necklaces with Mike's requiring neck padding due to the weight. That was too many pretzels.

Mike introduced Kristina to bottleservice for New Years and Kristina took Mike home to Vashon. 

This was one of the last trips with the Z4 - up the coast of California to get Oysters at our favorite shack! Back before it blew up.

Kristina spent years trying to get Mike to go to Crossfit with her... and once he did they both they quickly got sucked into the cult!

Note that this is a representative example of Mike after every class.

Finally in May 2015 Mike and Kristina moved into their SOMA apartment together!

Mike and Kristina realized that they both love going to music festivals together. 

First and only time, in 9 years, Kristina has seen Mike dress up for something! 

Mike and Kristina take a quick break from the Disneyland Marathon to ride Expedition Everest. Let's just say they didn't break any records that day but they did finish!

Mike and Kristina head from the Marathon in Florida to Hawaii for Ellison and Kristina's wedding. So begins a lasting obsession with Hawaii.

In Houston for Sean Sloan's wedding!

Mike takes his last section of the CFA and passes!!! 

Mike and Kristina both realize how much they love hiking!

...And then these two city people learn how to camp!
