Chris and Miranda meet at IU Bloomington. They were neighbors :)

Chris graduates!

Chris moves to Columbus, GA for his first army training and Miranda moves to Paris for a study abroad... long distance for the first time.

Reunited in Bloomington! Chris visits when he can and Miranda finishes her last semester at IU.

We strongly consider adopting this puppy, named Chicken. We still think about it.

Chris gets stationed at Fort Drum and we move in together in Watertown, NY

Sylvester joins the family! We got him with a 10-day return policy just in case

We get engaged!

When we found out Chris was deploying in July, we moved up the timeline for making it official. First wedding in our backyard in New York, and Earth Day :)

Moving out of New York :(

Backyard wedding #2, this time with a few more witnesses

Miranda starts medical school in Indianapolis, and Chris holds down the fort in Syria.

Reunited :) Still long distance as Chris goes back to work in New York, but at least we're on the same time zone.

Europe trip! Call it a belated honeymoon

After another semester of long distance, we celebrate New Year's in Chicago with friends from IU. Chris clearly has a great time :) (this picture was just too good not to include)

Sylvester's absent father returns- Chris moves to Indy and the long distance is finally over!!!
