Where it all started! Right out of a romantic comedy... Nick checked Josh in for the tournament, and Josh checked Nick out! Gay flag football literally changed both our lives! Shout out to the DGLFFL, HIGFFL, NGFFL, and the 'Alohilani!

Our first picture together... Pretty sure we both knew then, something special was just beginning. Don't let anyone tell you the entrance of a parking garage can't be romantic!

Reunited and felt so good! Time to figure out if we still felt the way we did when we first met. SPOILER ALERT: We did!

Aloha Classic, and our first time playing on a team together. Ko'olau was our team name, and coincidentally will be the gorgeous mountain range in our backdrop as we say, "I do."

Nick said yes to us getting matching shirts! Thats when Josh knew he found his #1 match. Told ya, romantic parking garage entrance just hits different.
After this was a whirlwind... Josh interviewed with HHHRC; they said "yes" (notice a pattern here), Josh packed up, celebrated his son Brodys 1st birthday, sold his home, entrusted great friends with his fur babe, Toast (Thank you Auntie Turner and Auntie Shelby!), said see ya soon to his friends, and moved his cold butt to Hawai'i!

One way ticket to Hawai'i? Don't mind if I do. Of course we needed a sunset picture to mark the occasion.

First trip together, to meet some of Nick's family on Kauai. Nervous... not at all!

Oh yeah, we played softball together too! Playing a team sport with your partner can teach you a lot about each other, and how to communicate better for each other. Let's go, Batties!!

With Grandpa's wedding band and the perfect, vintage ring box secured... the plan sets in motion.

But first, Josh of corse had to get Brodys permission to ask Nick to marry him, so naturally #ourmodernfamily needed to make a visit! We loved getting this time together with Liz, Kristal and Brody. To catch up, for everyone to meet and get to know each other, and for Josh, to see the love he has for Nick, reflected in Brodys eyes when he sees Nick too. Dadda and Nick love you, Brody!

He said, "YES!"

We talked about many different wedding venues, but only ended up touring one... and that's because it's perfect! We can't wait to share it with you all!!

Our first Christmas together, bringing our individual traditions and melding them together to make our own. Nick got Josh a cute pair of sunglasses, which Josh promptly lost in the ocean the next day at Christmas beach day. He doesn't want to talk about it. Thank you.
