The day we first met in person - on our first day of college! We had some mutual friends and all got lunch together.

Us as "just friends" celebrating Kristine's 19th birthday.

The day we made it OFFICIAL!! After over a year of being friends, Patrick took Kristine to Caseys Cupcakes and hid this note inside the lid of our box.

Our first "formal" (also known as Yule) together at downtown Disney!

Kristine's first time with the family as a girlfriend. We all went to Disneyland for 2 days and had a wonderful time.

Our first Valentines together <3

Kristine ~somewhat successfully~ surprised Patrick in Lake Tahoe with the rest of his family.

Had a little photo shoot for our upcoming 1 year anniversary. Our sweet friend Jenny took our photos and so the tradition began.

ONE YEAR TOGETHER!! We spent the day in Lake Arrowhead hiking and finding this beautiful hammock spot.

Kristine turns 20! We rented a Duffy boat with our friends in Newport Beach and had a blast.

Our first Christmas together! Kristine went up to Patrick's family, where the two of us made this awesome gingerbread house.

Patrick turns 21! Us and his friends and parents spent a few days in Lake Arrowhead.

"National buy your girlfriend flowers day." This man never fails to spoil me and has always been such a generous and consistent gift giver :)

Woofest '23!

Another trip with the Olsen's! San Diego flower fields were a highlight.

Yosemite with the Johnson's! This was mist trail hike - there was a beautiful rainbow and it was the BEST part of the trip.

Patrick and Kristine run their first race together! Such a fond memory challenging ourselves to do something new. Kristine's mom, Jennifer, also joined us.

We went ring shopping! This was such a special day designing Kristine's dream ring together.

Another photo shoot with Jenny! Two years together already??

TWO YEARS TOGETHER! We had a cozy night painting color me mine mugs and baking a cake together.

Kristine is 21! We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends.....little did I know the celebration would only continue soon hehe.

WE'RE ENGAGED! The BEST day of our lives thus far. Patrick took Kristine to Laguna Beach for "her birthday," but it turned into a much bigger surprise. Kristine's parents, her friends, and Jenny were all there to be a part of this sweet moment.

We are beyond excited for our future together. Thanks for coming along the journey!
