"The last place you'd find most people is where they are. Most of us spend our lives thinking about what's next, who I'm going to meet, who I'm going to be when I get married, skinny, rich, famous. You know, life is what happens while we're busy making other plans.
But life doesn't happen in the future - or the past. It happens right here, right now. That's why it's important to start each day wherever you are.
Today, shake yourself free of any expectation of arriving. Encourage yourself to be fully in the moment-to enjoy your transformations and to seek out new obstacles. Sink your teeth into the endless dessert that life is serving up every moment of the day."

How we met
You know in the movies when a boy and a girl run towards one another in slow motion, feet digging in the sand with beautiful ocean waves and a romantic soundtrack in the background? Well it was exactly like that, except we ran in regular motion and the soundtrack was noise coming from a kid’s birthday party and it was actually all a little awkward. But that's how it all started, on June 24, 2008 on the beach in beautiful sunny San Diego. Unfortunately the day Jamie and Rai met ended abruptly with Rai in the hospital running a 103 degree fever, struggling to remember out of the three friends she met that day, "which one was Jamie again?". Shortly after getting out of the hospital Rai (still slightly sick) went to watch Jamie and his friends play in a kickball game, thats when the crushes developed and all hell was about to break loose. They decided that before they would even consider dating they had to have at least one thousand things in common, a goal they all too quickly reached. One by one things got checked off the list and before they had time to control it, feelings were caught and love was in the air. In the years to follow Jamie and Rai shared great times with friends, incredible moments with each other, a few tears, some fears, many successes, laughter in abundance and most importantly, they found a best friend in one another. A bond that took them both by surprise, a bond that lead them on the unimaginable journey of two great hearts, one snobby cat, a crazy dog and a ring...
