Our three-month anniversary and our first Christmas together! This was also the first time he visited my family's home and I visited his mom's! We made pork stroganoff from my grandma's recipe and drank sparkling juice to celebrate.

Our sixth-month anniversary and how we spent most of our time together! Being long distance was a struggle, but we made it through by video calling and going on "mini dates".

This was our first vacation together, which we spent in Frankenmuth! Of course, we needed pictures with the cow.

The first time we spent the 4th of July together at Shannon's house! We've spent every one together since!

Our one-year anniversary was spent sipping tea and dressing up for several hours chatting online. We met a few weeks before in Port Huron to celebrate in person, but still wanted to spend time together the day of.

The first SAI event I brought him to! It was amazing to introduce him to a whole section of my life that he hadn't been a part of yet.

We attended my sister's wedding and it finally started feeling like we were becoming a part of each other's family. It was his first trip to the U.P. and the first time he had seen the Mackinaw Bridge in person!

Our first big purchase as a couple, a knife set! It was the small things coming together that showed how far we had come.

Our first dinner in our brand-new apartment! Of course, we didn't have any food to cook, all our dishes were in boxes, and our apartment was basically empty. So, pizza it was.

Went out in sweatpants for our two-year anniversary! We decided to be done with the fancy stuff and went out in our jammies to celebrate at Texas Roadhouse, now a tradition for us.

The day we got engaged and started the best and newest chapter of our lives together! We spent the day with two of our best friends at the Detroit Institute of Art, a place we had talked about visiting a thousand times.
