Late February-ish, we both swiped right!

Our first date! Ricky suggested a really awful Mexican restaurant (he's still embarrassed about this...) and didn't want the date to end so we had late night donuts to keep the conversation going!

The first vacation of many! A long weekend up to Door County, Wisconsin. This trip has been repeated in 2023, 2024, and 2025! We love a tradition! :)

Our first cross-country vacation! A long weekend to Washington D.C for Lydia H and Alejandro's wedding!

Clio and Olive move into Ricky's condo and start causing chaos. Stasia moves in shortly after. The chaos intensifies!

Brewer is adopted!

Stasia starts a new job. Work and personal travel kicks into high gear! Some of our favorite spots where we've gotten to blend work with personal travel include: Seattle, Honolulu, Austin, Minneapolis, & Toronto.

Ricky proposes under the Gateway Arch in St. Louis on Day 2 of our Madison to Houston road trip for Christmas 2024! We celebrate in true Grindle Rodriguez style by going to a dog bar and showering Brewer with love and cuddles!
