Our first selfie. Some of us were more excited about it than others.

Our first concert together. We saw The Foreign Exchange in NYC. A favorite memory from this night is dancing together to "Dreams are Made for Two."

We discovered a shared love for live music. One of our songs is "Nothing Even Matters" by Lauryn Hill . We got to see her perform in Philadelphia.

Our first camping trip together. We were joined by my sister, Nadia. So romantic!

Jimmy cooking pasta in our first apartment, in Kingston, NY. It was around this time that we both decided to go back to school.

In the fall of 2018 we started one of many traditions after we discovered the best hot apple cider donuts at Minard Farm in Highland, NY. We would order a dozen donuts and eat them while enjoying the gorgeous view. This past year Minard Farm closed. Perhaps it was the universe telling us to cut it out with the annual donut binge fest.

Another favorite tradition of ours has been going to the Sinterklaas parade with friends to kick off the holiday season! We always stand by the sassy soldier.

While living in New Paltz, we had a lot of favorite spots we shared together. This is at the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary.

Another one of our favorite spots in New Paltz is the River to Ridge trail. We've walked this trail a million times and it never gets old.

True love is blowing up a floatie for your future spouse. Jimmy is pictured here at Colgate lake. Now we own two floaties, a paddle board, and most importantly a battery operated air pump!

The luckiest girl in the world.

Our third, and final, time camping. We're smiling because we survived a very ill-prepared, near-death, hiking experience.

Julia graduated with her Master's degree in School Counseling. Thanks to Jimmy for pretending to be a distressed high school student for Julia's role playing assignments. Couldn't have done it without you!

Jimmy graduated with his Bachelor's Degree in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics. We couldn't be more proud of him. We appreciate all the IT help Jimmy has provided and will provide for years to come.

Another annual tradition of ours is seeing Shakespeare in the park in Woodstock, NY every summer. Jimmy is a fantastic Shakespeare translater for Julia, when she misses the plot while snacking on cheese and crackers.

Here we are on the eve of New Years Eve visiting Portland, Maine. We had a blast visiting breweries, eating lobster rolls and seeing live music. Our New Years resolution for 2023 was to see as many live shows as possible!

We moved into our first "adult" apartment. The porch is a perk, but it's the in unit washer and dryer that really makes this a milestone in our relationship.

Jimmy's birthday in Boston. We got tickets to see Sam Jay. This photo was taken on the roof top of our hotel. Seconds later lightening struck nearby and we ran inside like our lives depended on it.

Reset Festival in Queens. We saw Toro y Moi, James Blake, Foushee, and Steve Lacy. It was an incredible show. It was also your typical city adventure, with delicious pizza and multiple rat sightings.

People often ask, when do you know you have found "the one"? For Julia, it was when Jimmy got her Beyonce tickets.

Our first time on a plane together. Our first time out of the country together. Our first resort together. First of many to come!

The day Jimmy proposed. It was perfect. On New Years Eve eve.
