Marching band yearbook photo of all the seniors. If only we knew how close our future spouses were in this photo..

Casual photo that Mateo and I took right before a competition. This was back when we were just friends.

Our friend group celebrated my birthday during lunch and I was shocked that Mateo wanted to take a picture with me ☺️ (This photo made me realize I was a sucker for curly hair - M)

Mateo took this picture right before a final run during one of our last after-school practices. Seriously, we were that close to each other!

This was when it snowed for one day during Senior year!

Senior Prom!

A quick photoshoot at Doolittle park before heading to Prom Night

Mateo came to pick me up at my house for prom. He had just gotten his license the day before.. And I lived on the county line..

This is when we went fishing with Mateo’s family in Port Mansfield.

Our first pumpkin patch picture together!

My sorority had a social event at the local bar in Kingsville. Boots and Blazers quickly became our couple's aesthetic.

Easter in Encino! (PSA: NEVER crack an easter egg in curly hair. I'm still paying for it. - M)

My graduation ceremony!

We went to a family friend's wedding in Georgewest. Not much to say here other than the fit was hard.

We spent our 5-year anniversary in Fredericksburg and went to an elephant sanctuary!! I got to wash an elephant! oh and Mateo was there too :)

Mateo's graduation ceremony!

This was the last photo I took with Arianna before leaving her in Amarillo. Long distance relationships are no joke. -M

This was the weekend when Mateo proposed to me and he spent most of it taking these pictures when I wasn't looking

The beginning of the future Mr. and Mrs. Mateo Gutierrez!

The first photo we took in our first apartment together. We're on the floor because we were pooped from moving furniture up a flight of stairs.

Our first A&M game! (Fighting Irish absolutely dominated Kyle field by the way - M)

Our second A&M game! I got back at Mateo by making him wear maroon for this one.

Our first major trip together! We went to O'ahu Hawaii and one of the first activities we had planned was to hike to the top of Diamondback Crater.

We went to a Luau on the east side of the island. The view was beautiful and the food was so delicious!

We got to see some of the traditional crafts of the islanders presented to us by people like this woman. She was super nice and even invited us to participate in the activities.

At the luau

We went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch! Horseback riding! IN HAWAII! I was in heaven here.
