Our love has traveled to and from many places, Sacramento, Long Beach, San Francisco, Mexico, Texas, and finally landing firm in Los Angeles, CA. Brandon is finally making the music he loves and I am a case manager downtown. We still laugh at all the bumps we hit, and know there will be more to come...though now we are prepared. The thing that keeps us going strong, is the simple fact that we know without a doubt we are soul mates. We are best friends, lovers, fighters, and a constant reminder of the things that really matter...the small things. The butterflies still remain, and the memories continue to grow, we simply could not ask for anything more. We are grateful to the friends who stood by and supported us and know we could not have done it without Lia and Troy, Jake, and both our families. We have welcomed two kids into our life (puppies that is) and for now we feel complete.....stay posted for a belly bump :)

Our short story!


Ok, so I know this should have been done some time ago, but hey at least it's happening now. As most of you know, there have been quite a few changes in our little vida. Between the move from San Francisco, adjusting to a new City, and job-hunting, you'd have thought we'd have jumped ship by now. Instead....we went full speed ahead, have our own baby (puppy that is) and are planning to get married (ahhhhhhh...tickles in my heart). So let's commence with the story!

Our love, without a doubt, began in a rather strange way. I mean, how many people meet their future wife/husband at a punk show in a warehouse in Oaktown (Oakland, ca). For this, I have to thank Lia Munoz and Matt Kirkle, without them we would have never met. Our very first night was filled with us spilling our life stories to one another, a few tears and a ridiculous amount of laughter. I have to admit, I wasn't too fond of his feet at first (got a weird thing with feet), but I have grown to adore them:) We spent the following two weeks planning our future together and then I was off to live in Mexico. This, by far was one of the hardest things ever. The first months of a relationship are supposed to be the most exciting, but here we were trying to do it long distance. Well, as you can imagine, it wasn't long until he was on a 6 hour flight to come stay with me for a little while...and he even brought me a CD titled " About to jump on a plane and come see you mix" which I think holds most of our wedding songs...strange Nooo! So there we were, living in Mexico, climbing pyramids, drinking mojitos and completely in love.

Mexico was just the beginning of our adventures. Our love for one another, life and random trips took us on many different paths through the last 2.5 years and the adventures just keep coming. We are beyond blessed to have such supportive and loving families who welcomed us into their hearts and continue to encourage our love. Brandon and I have grown so much together as a team and cannot imagine a life any different. I thank GOD every day for what we have and know that we will always stand strong even if the midst of a storm. So thank you to all of our friends and family for loving us and being a part of our story. We hope you enjoy all the details of the wedding planning and I'm certain there will be plenty of random posts to get you laughing. Love ~ The Tomas Clan
