After knowing one another for years our relationship rekindled by chatting over the phone. Our first official date was at the ABQ Ballon Fiesta when Blue was home during fall break visiting from Nebraska!

Facetime calls became our soul way of communication during the early days of our long-distance relationship!

Gaming set for the win!

Since Denver was easily accessible to both of us it became our meeting point for when we couldn't do a trip and meet halfway between our NM & NE! Denver quickly became one of our favorite places to visit together.

Our first holiday was spent together with each other's families!

One year around the sun of being together! All while living in different states.

As the world was changing day by day our relationship lucked out when the Pandemic brought Blue home for the rest of the spring semester! Allowing for us to have more time with one another.

Nothing like turning 21 during a worldwide pandemic. Thankful that it was filled with so much love!
