St Valentine's Day, our first official date as a couple! We cooked a fancy dinner 'in' and had a great time

Jehannah and I got to attend Liam's achievement of his black belt in tae kwon do

I found out that Liam, having worked on a fishing boat in Alaska, can make fantastic sushi!

Liam tries to impress my baby sister by making sushi. Jehannah is only interested in the grapes.

Lavender farms

Liam visited Washington to meet my parents. He also got to meet Kati and Erin (who made our fabulous wreaths)

Liam (and Andrew) passed my family's litmus test: "...can they survive backpacking in Olympic National Park?"

I drove 12 hours in a car (one way!) with Liam and his mom to attend a wedding of one of his college friends and met his sisters- minus Aileen- over a whirlwind weekend.

If you love something, you must let it go... Though it was hard to do long distance while I was travel nursing in North Dakota, we both grew so much and are grateful for the blessings of this time period.

The future in-laws spending Christmas with the Sollmann clan

See the expression, stage left

Baby, it's cold outside...we should totally get dressed up and stay in!!!

Our first fight, with the good Padre mediating

Liam asked and I said yes!

Not everyone can look this manly cuddling a kitten, okay??!!

Innovation at its finest

We can totally look nice in pictures, what are you talking about?

I am grateful I found a man who loves me and treasures me for who I am...

...and makes me look almost normal in comparison!

Music and faith...two of the many things we both have in common

Holy Family, pray for us on this journey that we may become saints!
