Elizabeth's family beach trip @ Emerald Isle, NC - where it all began! (Mike got the invite from Elizabeth's brother Nate - the perfect wingman)

Labor Day Weekend @ Myrtle Beach! - s/o to the best brothers for tagging along and giving us an excuse to see each other!

Fast forward another year and we meet again! (on the next family beach trip lol)

Mike made his first of many 9 hr drives down to Jacksonville to spend a weekend with Elizabeth.

Mike made his second trip down to FL, this time during a hurricane! Love will make you do some crazy things ;)

Mike's October visit to Jax included a night out on the town & officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend!

A few weeks later, Mike drove all the way to Tallahassee to watch Elizabeth coach the State XC meet!
