The week it all started! Plus graduation!

Fun trips home getting to know each other.

Sightseeing in Colorado! Pikes peak was beautiful.

Matt supporting Maria in her first spartan race!

Maria supporting Matt in his 2nd race towards his trifecta.

They were both so tired from work that they ended up missing the firework's so they decided to shoot some off themselves!

STL Cardinals game!

Going to a friend's wedding.

Matt broke his wrist playing flag football, but he kept his smile.

Texas! They both walked a race and Matt finished his trifecta! How exhausting.

Pumpkin carving!

Halloween, Matt dressed as one of his professors and Maria dressed as Hermione from Harry Potter.

Back in Texas for Maria to finish her trifecta.

Thanksgiving break!

Christmas! It was great getting to meet each other's extended family!

New Years Eve. We dressed up went out for dinner and was planning on enjoying a nice calm night playing games, watching the ball drop, but Matt had other plans...

Matt proposed and Maria said "YES put that ring on my finger!" The rest of the night was spent calling family and friends sharing the happy news!
