We first met in July of 2016 when Taylor was 20 and Tom was 22. We were just babies!!
March 2022 long weekend in Key West. There was a lot of bar hopping and many trips between the pool and the Flying Monkey for drink refills!
February/March 2023 we spent 2 incredible weeks traveling South Island New Zealand. We drove a campervan, via ferrata climbed up the side of a waterfall, hiked the Kepler Track, swam in the glacial water of Lake Marian, and bungee jumped. We fell in love with the country and its incredible people. We cannot wait to go back!
Our first night on the Kepler Track we had our crackers stollen by a Kea
4,600 feet up on the Ridgeline of the Kepler Track
Madeira December 2023
We stayed in a quiet costal town (Calheta) and explored the cliffside towns around the island. We hiked PR1 (Pico to Pico), Levada das 25 Fontes, and boated alongside pods of dolphins. And we got engaged!!
On December 14, 2023 we took an early morning hike named Levada das 25 Fontes in Madeira. We were the only people at the main waterfall when Tom proposed. It was perfect!
We love to spend time outside!
On the water- Tom kayaks and fishes while Taylor paddles around and reads on her paddleboard.
In the woods- We love camping and backpacking.
Allegheny National Forest is not quite New Zealand, but we love it and have taken many backpacking and paddle camping trips there. Our favorites are the Morrison trail and the Allegheny Reservoir
We adopted our cat Nala from the Berea Animal Shelter in 2016
Then we discovered our love for dogs and went a little crazy, we ended up with 4 between the two of us! There is always lots of snoring and always someone nearby to cuddle.
