Our friend, trying to play matchmaker, pushed us together for an awkward first picture together. Jules was nervous and popped a thumbs up, but Tim was thrilled! Little did we know what would lie ahead, nearly 8 months later!!

The day after our first Thanksgiving together. We enjoyed intentional time together on a hike in Gaithersburg, after a weekend with family.

We went to the Cherry Blossom Festival. D.C. is one of our favorite date spots!

Our first Easter together. Jules had no idea what was coming one week later!

After brunch alone at the wharf, where our relationship started about 7 months earlier, Tim could not wait to ask Jules to marry him!
