How We Met

Brandon and I met in high school at Santa Susana High in Simi Valley. Now, I've got to explain a little about the high school we went to. It was a very small magnet school for the performing arts and technology. Needless to say, there were some very unique characters (not excluding myself). I was there for dance & choir and he was there for computer programming. The best thing about this school was that there were no real "cliques". Everybody knew everybody, no outcasts, and everyone was so accepting of others' differences. It was such a great high school experience.

End tangent =-)

He and I had classes together since 9th grade but never considered each other more than acquaintances. I remember him quite well in our 9th grade Earth science class. He had the spikiest red (dyed) hair, and would always wear these bright orange parachute pants, t shirt and a visor! His look evolved over the years and when we were seniors he carried this quiet, smart, & some what "bad-ass" persona. He grew his hair out long, dyed it black (which is so contrasting compared to his pale skin) and always wore a beanie (with the ends of his hair poking out the back). In our senior year a mutual friend set us up to go together to Winter Formal. He wasn't into the whole winter formal thing and I didn't want to go with a date. But we both reluctantly went together, and it was a good thing we did! We hit it off & the rest is history...

Here's a picture of us before winter formal. He couldn't wear a beanie with a suit LOL

(He cut his hair pretty soon after)

Here is another picture of us from high school. We look so young!

Here's our senior prom:

Graduation!
