We met in January of 2015, while Niko was a senior at USC, and I was junior. Our first date was a trip to the National History Museum, to see a mummy exhibit (even though Niko swears it was a butterfly exhibit). We’ve been inseparable ever since. Most recently we moved to Seattle and celebrated Niko’s 30th down by the Oregon coast.

The last nine years we’ve spent together have been filled with nights out in LA, USC tailgates, gossip with a side of margs, and over 1,100 episodes of One Piece. We’ve shared so many wonderful memories together, and we can’t wait to make more.
