We had our first conversation on June 22nd 2021 and ended up on a first date August 14th! We met for brunch and then just kept finding the next time we could hang out!

We kept getting to know each other and spent lots of time listening to records and talking.

We spent our first day as a family of three eating ice cream, Mexican food, and making up songs!

We continued to spend time taking Jagger on all sorts of adventures as she became a brand new 4 year old!

Our first road trip together was to Boone, NC to visit friends! We had a wonderful weekend filled with scenic views and playlist creating in the car!

We took Jagger to her first movie and this has become one of our favorite things to do! Jagger insists a picture just like this one each time we go!
