Our Story

Our Very First Photo
October 2007

We met in 2007 at a high school debate tournament (we know, we know) while attending Ronald Reagan High School in San Antonio. We can’t agree on the exact details, but know that it all started in March in the Madison High School cafeteria. After several rain checks, a “date” at Six Flags Fiesta Texas for Norma’s birthday, two debate camps later, and a little match-making by a mutual friend, David and Norma finally became a couple on July 25, 2007.

David’s First Visit to DC
February 2009

We spent a year in San Antonio before I, Norma, went off to the nation’s capital for college, at The American University (go Eagles!). That first year apart, I returned to San Antonio a handful of times to visit my other half. He made the trek up north to be with me on Valentine’s Day and on that trip to DC, David was accepted to the University of Florida! Go Gators!

Summer 2012

Again, we spent the summer together before parting ways to begin fall classes–I went back to DC, he to Florida. For the next four years, we traveled pretty frequently between Washington and Gainesville, and earned more than a few thousand frequent flyer miles!

Norma’s Graduation
May 2011

After nearly five and a half years of dating, I, David, got down on one knee and proposed on November 23, 2012, at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, just miles away from where our relationship began. It gave us both something to be truly thankful for that year and always.
