People always say that when you are searching for the love of your life, it will come when you least expect it. WE are here to confirm the truth in that.
CHrissi moved to Los ANgeles California in May of 2005. It was an oppurtunity to “find herself,” but also an oppurtunity to find an adventure beyond cincinnati ohio. Los Angeles was not what she expected and she was ultimately unhappy. She decided to move back to Cincinnati less than three months later. Although while she was in la, she found the best of friends in vanessa. While in the process of settling affairs in Los Angeles, Vanessa’s brother had planned a trip to Los ANgeles for vacation. Chrissi and Nat met before going to an etta james and buddy guy concert at the hollywood bowl. That week they spent many nights talking until the early morning about anything and everything. Nothing romantic, it was just like they had known each other for a lifetime. Throughout that week, chrissi was subtly noticing his character and began slowly to respect and admire his person. Nat on the other hand was totally enamored by chrissi, but couldn’t possibly tell her , what would be the odds?
So a week later and many fun times had, Nat was a day away from flying home to peoria, illinois and chrissi was planning her drive back cross-country to cincinnati.
Monday, August 1st, 2005, nat offered to drive chrissi back. He loves to drive and was willing to leave a day early and miss his flight to drive cross-country with Chrissi. Chrissi took advantage of the prompt invitation and decided to drive back with him. Somewhere between Los ANgeles and Peoria, Nat claims that chrissi hit him over the head with a 2X4, because after 30 hours of driving, we were totally in love with each other.
So plans changed quite unexpectedly and with no warning. THen Chrissi made arrangements to take a risk on the newfound romance and move to tremont, illinois. apparently that wasnt such a bad decision.
ON CHristmas Eve, Nat proposed and CHrissi (without hesitation) said yes.. now we are planning our future together. And in celebration of that, we wanted to invite everyone we know to celebrate with us. We are proud to be where we are and look forward to what lies ahead.
