Where it all began. The day after Nick asked me to be his girlfriend, we documented to show my family the man that scooped me up off of the market

27th bday! We go to this restaurant Osteria Marco for every special occasion because they gave us free Prosecco, limoncello shots AND dessert. Absolutely yes???

This memory is so special to us because the sun came out slightly and it was warm enough to go to the park before the winter was over. Little joys!!!

I knew that Nick loved me when he took me to my favorite artist Chelsea Cutler's concert. He wasn't familiar with her music, except through my obsessive playlist, but he ended up having a BLAST

This was the first time that Nick started to round the corner a bit after his extended illness in Spring 2024. He was DOWN BAD but still prepared a charcuterie board and picnic for a date night

Nick's first time in Florida! Publix subs and beach all day: God's country

Nick was a champ for coming to so many different weddings with me. This was in St. Augustine for my bestie Trish's wedding where I was Maid of Honor!

Red Rocks Concert! My favorite activity is to convert Nick to all of my music. He is slowly trying to swindle me into liking his music but I just don't do Rock

They set off fireworks in D.C. just for my return to the city! How sweet!

Trip to D.C. Had tons of fun showing Nick the city I used to live in & meeting my dear friends that I miss so much!

A few things happened in Santa Fe: Nick met my mom and she instantly gave her approval. I realized I'm just not cut out for spicy food. Discovered the best Guy Fajita (Guy Fieri) restaurant in Taos

Rocky Mountain National Park. Nick & I love hiking & being out in the mountains together. This is one of our recommended activities for you to do when you're visiting for the wedding!

As some of you may know, attending weddings was my entire personality in 2023 & 2024. Here we are hanging at our friend's wedding in Indiana before getting stuck in Indy and having a nightmarish 72 hours of travel to France

Eze, France. My mom took us to explore the Bordeaux & Nice regions for the next installation of our world travels. We had fun teaching Nick how to be a wine snob & fell in love with the small villages in the south of France

Hiked 10 miles in one of the most rewarding and awe-inspiring hikes I've done in Colorado. Missouri Lakes, people!! Get to it!

Back at it again in wedding mode. Really special time reuniting with D.C. friends up in a small western Michigan town

Engaged!

It was so foggy but as soon as Nick proposed the sun came out. I'M NOT LYING!

Nick threw an engagement party for me with close friends in Denver!

Including this one because this is what we hope to incorporate into our marriage. Nick's parents have happy hour every night where they spend intentional time catching up and sharing about their day. While I may not be able to accommodate EVERY night due to watching my figure, I love the idea and love our schmancy wine time!

Soaking in the Colorado beauty a few days after getting engaged

Had the time of my life at Nick's brother's wedding in Cleveland. Although the Airbnb was in gang territory, I felt so at home. HAH. His family welcomed me in so well and I got to meet all of the classics

We had a pop punk, country, and rave party between three different houses. Fun!

I didn't grow up learning how to operate two vehicles on my feet in Florida but it has been so fun to ski together since it's one of Nick's favorite sports!

Day trip to Anguilla on my annual trip to St. Maarten with my mom

We clearly have opposite body temperatures with Nick skiing in his beach gear. This wraps up my ski season in mid-May but I am sure Nick will probably keep going until June HAH...
