Mark and I met in an organization at St. Mary's Catholic Center called John 15. This is the night we met, and we were paired-up to lead a bible study for Freshmen at St. Mary's.

We made it official in February 2021. This was during the famous "snow-vid" snow storm that hit College Station.

Here's the start of Aggie football season and our Junior year! This semester was a little crazy because I was waiting to hear back on my nursing school application. Thankfully, in October, I found out that I got into nursing school at A&M, and of course Mark was the first person I told!!

This was Claire and I's 21st birthday, celebrating in San Antonio.

Mark and I love hiking, and here's one of my favorite Texas hikes in San Antonio- I love the Hill Country :)

Mark and I both BTHO 90 hours by the spring of 2022, so we ordered our Aggie Rings (WHOOP!)

Mark's pose was a little more creative than mine...

Mark's 21st birthday!

Our 1 year anniversary date! We celebrated a few days late, but on the weekend we went to the Bluebell factory and went shopping in Brenham, then went out for a nice dinner. It was a great day!

Here's a picture from White Steeple Ball, the dance St. Mary's puts on in the spring!

RING DAY!

Had to include this picture from Easter Vigil...

Easter Vigil Mass at St. Mary's!

Studying for finals - obviously Mark had some work to do.

Mark had his internship in Dallas over the summer, so when I had a little break in classes I came to visit!

We love Willie's dates (and $4 margs)

More Aggie football and the start of senior year!

sunrises > sunsets

Mark's 1st Thanksgiving with my family! Little bit bigger than what he's used to haha

Roadtrip to St. Louis for SEEK and my 22nd birthday! This was outside the St. Louis Cathedral, it was so beautiful!

Celebrated our 2 year anniversary in Waco. Had to visit the silos!

Another roadtrip over spring break with a bunch of friends to Utah! We went to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. *Fun fact: I took the week off studying for this trip, but I had a big test the Wednesday after coming back. Mark wanted to go on a date the weekend we came back, but I said I couldn't because I had to study. Little did I know he actually wanted to propose... oops!

The proposal had to wait, but it was PERFECT!
