Our first performance together ever! In the height of the COVID Pandemic we were invited to Miami, Florida to participate in the International Ballet Festival of Miami

We spent our first Christmas together in San Marcos, TX with Samantha’s family

Our first full length ballet together was A Midsummer Night’s Dream where Jonathon played Oberon and Samantha played Titania

First summer of many spent in Jonathon’s hometown of Destin, FL

Our first time attending a wedding together

Our first big move! We moved to New Jersey in the summer of 2021 and got to explore NYC together!

We spent our first anniversary in upstate New York with our new ballet company

After our second Nutcracker season together, we spent Christmas at Samantha’s grandparents home in Harrisburg, PA

One of the shows we got to do in New Jersey was A Midsummer Nights Dream again! This time we got to play two of the lovers - Hermia and Lysander

Our first official vacation was on a cruise with Jonathon's mom to the Caribbean! It was such a beautiful trip!

Summer year two in Destin, FL again!

Our last days in the northeast were spent in NYC!

To celebrate our second anniversary, we saw Samantha's favorite artist in concert!

After our second anniversary, we joined another ballet company and began our third season together

Christmas this year was spent with both Jonathon’s family in Houston, and Samantha’s family on a cruise to celebrate her mom’s 60th birthday!

Jonathon started his first semester of college…

…and Samantha took her first discovery flight, which would lead her to start researching flight schools

Our last performance together was Peter Pan, such a fun and emotional time!

Sooo many of our family came to support us in what was Samantha’s last performance as a professional ballet dancer, and our last show together

We spent a third summer in Destin, FL and most importantly, Jonathon proposed!!

Jonathon completely surprised Samantha with the proposal and a beach party with our best friends!

Samantha’s first day of flight school!

Jonathon decided distance was overrated and quit his ballet contract and moved back to Samantha just in time for our third anniversay

We spent Christmas in Houston with Jonathon’s family, where he got to hang out with his niece and brand new nephew!

Then we got to attend Samantha’s best friend's wedding in Juneau, Alaska!

Samantha graduated flight school at the end of July!

And just days later, Jonathon earned his real estate license!

The beginning of year five started and we hit the ground running. Samantha got her first job as a Certified Flight Instructor...

...and Jonathon began teaching ballet at a lovely dance studio!

For our fourth anniversary, Samantha got to take Jonathon flying for the first time!

As an early birthday gift to Jonathon, we saw his favorite artist in concert!

We didn’t travel anywhere this Christmas, we were both so busy with our new jobs! But Jonathon started creating some merch for his movie review channel!

Samantha finished instructing at her flight school and got her first professional pilot job in Atlanta, Georgia as a Medevac pilot!

Here we are, all caught up for now, in our new home of Atlanta. Stay tuned for the beginning of year six coming soon!
