our first ever picture together...we weren't dating yet, but the awkward gap between us depicts the nervousness we both felt standing next to each other.

luckily, that awkward gap was able to be closed just a few short months later when we confessed our love to one another.

It's the morning of our first powerlifting meet together, and we still haven't told the bulk of our friends that we are official.

we both knocked it out of the park at our meet, and this was the picture that announced to the world that we are in LOVE!

almost a full year of dating goes by and man, he is still the biggest cutie in the world.

our first wedding together celebrating our wonderful friends Travis & Ashley!

This wedding made us realize how excited we are for our own!

Chilly nights by the fire are just an excuse to be close.

our first Christmas in our first apartment together! the tree was munchkin size, just like us!

Chris carved our initials into the tree we had our first kiss in front of, and it is still there today.

two whole years, and we always go back to our first date spot to recreate the day that brought us together.

our family got a new puppy, his name is Mac and Chris became his favorite person!

however, we needed to get a baby of our own. This is Ivan, our sweetest little guy.

our parents haven't stopped asking for a grandbaby, so we delivered. Ivan is spoiled by all the grandparents, and definitely by us.

Mac got a little bit bigger in the meantime.

Chris and Ivan wasted no time becoming best friends...although Ivan is DEFINITELY a mama's boy...

celebrating three years of unconditional love!

FINALLY!! we are engaged and never been happier!!

post engagement brunch and we both could not stop calling each other fiancé
