We met for the first time when we both became RAs in Kollen Hall at Hope College and wanted to start a podcast together.

We started dating in early October. Our very first date was sushi and a trip to the Apple store to fix Tommy's computer. This picture is from a fraternity date night at an apple orchard in west Michigan.

We met each other's families over the holidays later that year. Abby became a football fan (GO CATS) and Tommy learned he would always be needed for another project at the Dieffenbach house.

Tommy studied abroad in Barcelona for the fall semester! Abby came to visit (and help translate) over her fall break.

Tommy's back in the USA! Woohoo!

Wednesday nights were often spent out at New Holland with friends instead of studying. These were some of our best college memories together.

This summer was Abby's first trip to the Halkyard family cabin in China, Maine.

Tommy and Abby are both in the same state again! Lots of cubs games and train rides to see each other.

We love traveling to new places! This was an anniversary trip to pictured rocks in Michigan's UP

Mexico City in May! We ate so much delicious food and even went to our first Michelin Star restaurant together. It's always fun to do "firsts" together.

THE PROPOSAL! Abby's best birthday present yet and the biggest surprise

We can't wait for everything that is yet to come. We are so blessed and God is so good!
