A time when our relationship was beginning to blossom. This was our first trip to Maui, Hawaii, and the first time we shot shotguns together.

Thailand was our second trip together, we visited three cities. Bangkok was our first destination, then lush Chaing Mai, and finally beach town Phuket.

Just before Covid struck, we managed our second trip to Maui, Hawaii. We also visited the neighboring island of Lanai where this photo was taken in front of Puu Pehe a.k.a "Sweetheart's Rock".

Just as Covid was skyrocketing, we welcomed Brie into the family!

Our relationship truly took off during Covid. During lockdown, we spent the majority of our time in Michigan shooting shotguns, swimming with the dogs, cooking, and eating lots of food.

We traveled to Alaska, which was the best trip we've taken so far. Among all our adventures we visited Anchorage, Denali, Fairbanks, and Chena.

After two years of living downtown together, we decided it was time to say goodbye to the apartment...

To move into our new home together on Lill! We were itching for more space to nurture our growing family.

Soon after moving in, Caper and Lox were welcomed into the family.

A couple months later Todd proposed at an orchard we had frequented in years past called Williams Orchard.

Amid wedding planning, we managed to take a trip to Kauai, Hawaii.

Then our trip to Guanacaste, Costa Rica...

And then we found out we were pregnant with Fern!

After a rollercoaster of pregnancy, we were beyond blessed to welcome baby Fern into our family!
