Ela and Jesse’s first date was the day after Valentine’s Day, 2020.  Little did they know,  what lay ahead.   

Ela and Jesse spent all of 2020 making small improvements and big mistakes to the house at Pacific View. Painting the walls, hanging wall mounted TV stands, and scrubbing paint off the floors and out of Jesse’s clothes, and of course falling in love.

They moved in together in the spring of 2021. That same year they said goodbye to Jesse’s dog Bing Crosby, and adopted their current pup Stella.  Yes, Stella and Ela. At the end of 2022, Jesse proposed to Ela at home right before leaving for the Holidays. 2023 has brought the joy of planning a wedding, which they never argue about and has been a breeze! They also added a new member of their family, Sadie.
