Last month I met Stew, Saori and their dog Timber (who had a the cutest special collar) in Sedona. We hiked at sunrise so we could have the park to ourselves. Sedona is one of Saori’s favorite places. Stew is a geologist from New Zealand and Saori a RN from Japan but they are located in Arizona.
Their love story from Saori:
Stew and I met online when he used to live up in Flagstaff and I was visiting for a weekend. Once we matched, I was honest with him that I did not live in Flagstaff but down in Tucson. He didn’t like that at first but we kept talking/texting. At the time of matching online, I actually did not get to meet him. I went back home thinking oh this isn’t going to work. But somehow my emotions grew over the phone/texts because I could just tell something is different with guy. So after a month of talking, I made a leap of faith to go visit him for a weekend and rest is history. That was a little over 4 years ago. After a year and a few months of doing “long distance” relationship, trying to see each other every other weekend or so, Stew decided to uproot his life and moved down to Tucson to live with me! We have adopted a golden retriever/ basset miX rescue 3 years ago. His name is Timber, and we try to bring him to as many adventures as we can. We have also bought a Scamp last year, so we have been having so much fun going on adventures with that!
