Wondering how a girl from Texas and boy from Utah met and ended up in Idaho?  

Naturally it included water = surfing to be precise.

We actually first met at a party at Walt's house in Huntington Beach but we didn't have many chances to talk. Luckily, we were both at another party later that summer - a pool party. There we discovered that we both liked to surf and only lived a few blocks from each other. Devin was the only girl in the pool and Walt teased her that she could only do 3 lengths of the pool underwater in one breath. And then he helped her do a backdive for the first time in a long time - by placing a helping hand on the small of her back so she knew how far to reach.

A couple of days later, he called to go surfing. So we surfed and talked and laughed and both had a great time.

Our first real date was a couple of weeks later...we went for sushi and were both nervous with possibility. Walt took the plunge and kisssed Devin goodnight. Devin jokes now that she made up her mind about Walt on our second date a couple of days later. He asked her to go a ride on his Harley and walk out on the pier in the next town. And over dinner, talking about political views and opinions on life, she knew he was a rare find. The next day, our third date, we went surfing again - a day long trek to San Onofre with a couple of friends.

From there, the adventures have never stopped. Walt taught Devin to kayak. She took him swimming to prove why she could paddle way faster than him on a surfboard. We went skiing, kayaking, surfing, and have embraced life together ever since.
