We met at Brady Street Festival through our close friends, Alex and Kate. A couple months later, we took our first photo together at a dog café, celebrating Albus’s birthday — Julie already knew Jon was a good guy, but he proved it even more when he agreed to take this photo!

Our first Bucks game together — Julie is a super fan and clapped, screamed and stood up almost the entire time, but Jon is still smiling.

Our first Packers game… in a suite, a little better seats than our first Bucks game!

Our first Thanksgiving together, we were blessed to be able to spend the holiday with both sides of our family. Here we are with Jon’s parents, siblings and niece and nephews.

Our first visit to Chicago to see our friends, Meredith and Tim, and enjoy all the holiday festivities.

Our first Christmas together, again both families welcomed us into their homes. This Christmas was extra special as the Caan’s celebrated Declan’s first Christmas.

We toured our future apartment in downtown West Bend… we knew right away it would be perfect for us!

Jon’s first visit to Bucerias, Mexico — the Caan family’s second home.

Julie’s first visit to Marco Island, Florida — the Sands’ family’s second home. We are ready to become snowbirds!

Albus is living his best life with a soccer loving dad and nearby big backyard at his new grandparent’s house!

The last picture we took in our new apartment the night before we got engaged.

We are engaged! John proposed in the most perfect, surprising way. We are engaged! Jon proposed in the most perfect way on our balcony after a wonderful morning, walk and homemade breakfast.

Enjoying exploring our new neighborhood together.

Back where it all began… At Brady Street Festival (only this year it was a week earlier!).
