David and Netty met on Yahoo Personals in 2008 and immediately connected, realizing they had found their soulmate. On their first date at Sizzler, they were very comfortable with each other. David proposed during a surprise trip to see his family in St. Louis. They married in April 2009 and took a 3-week road trip to Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri for their honeymoon. In October 2009, they moved into Netty's father's house in West Valley City, which they later purchased. They adopted a boxer pit mix named Sami in November 2009, who became their first baby.
