You mean so much to me and I am so so so happy to be with you. You are so smart and kind and beautiful and strong and amazing!
You are the best thing to ever happen to me and you are my best friend! I can't wait to make more memories together.
Birthday dinner for Justin up on the rocks. Liv loved petting Paisley.
We had an awesome trip to Fresno. The trees at Sequioa were amazingly huge and the foggy mist in Yosemite made it almost mythical! And the underground gardens were really neat!
Eggs Benedict. Yum yum!
We got to walk down the bike path with Ronan and Livvy :). Those two cuties!
You took me on a date to Cliffside and Tuacahn. It was very nice, thank you!
We went swimming with Paisley in the river at Sheep Bridge Park.
Hammocking and reading in Springdale again.
I'm so glad you were able to come to the river! It was such a good time with you :).
We did the Anasazi Petroglyphs Trail and made Paisley wear the funny boots :).
We took Paisley up to a little pond on Cedar Mounatin and found a spot to lay and read.
We tried to fish again at the Enterprise Resevoir but it was super windy of course.
Found a nice place to read and hammock by the river in Springdale.
We went and stayed the weekend in Midway. We visited your grandparents, fished, swam in the crater, walked around Silver Lake, and tried to find wild flowers in Albion Basin haha. It was a great weekend.
Another dinner date this time where we had our first date :).
We went up to Kolob Resevior. It's the first time I've been there!
We had a dinner date at Balcony One on the way to Zion.
Happy Birthday! I'm so glad we could go to Boston for your b-day :). It was a great trip seeing all the old buildings, the museum, the Freedom Trail, the Red Sox game. And the food and accents were amazing!
Had a nice walk and picnic in Pine Valley.
Another awesome trip to Redondo. We went to the Venice canals, golfing, a botanical garden and butterfly sanctuary, and spent a day on the beach!
We took the kayaks to Quail, it was really peaceful down at the end under the trees.
We got to babysit Ronan and Ani and go swimming with them :).
We did a small hike at Red Reef and went down the slide. Haha and then replaced your Moms kitchen sink that was difficult to get out.
We took a weekend trip and camped at Calf Creek Falls. It was a great hike and I'm so glad Paisley could come :). And Kiva Koffeehouse was really neat.
Your Dad took us rappelling down Yankee Doodle!
We practiced some hitting and fielding with Mason. He's getting a lot better! Then we had a nice date at River Rock, where our first date was!
Coffee time at cedar pockets. We had a nice time down by the river.
We went to the county fair. Haha we limited ourselves on rides and didn't get too sick! Then we went to quail for a bit and skipped some rocks. Then played pickleball and hot-tubbed.
Your grandparents were in town and we went to Red Robin with them and your family. Haha Rain was so cute the way he was eating. You got a bunch of candle making stuff and we made some. They turned out so good!
We went on a morning coffee date to the nature center. Saw a bunch of cute turtles and a swan with a messed up leg. Then we got a bunch of plants and made a littel garden on the balcony. It was so fun and exciting watching them grow!
We camped out in Arizona for Easter weekend. It was a lot of fun but got pretty chilly at night!
Jenny and Ky came to visit for a week from Florida. We had dinner and you taught us all how to play pickleball!
Gage had a 7 on 7 tournament in Vegas we went to watch. Then we got some sushi and played some minigolf.
Visiting Ronan, Ani, and Tynleigh when they were testing out their camp trailer.
We took a bumpy ride out to a neat overlook and watched the stars. It was freezing but I had a great time with you!
More delicious steak and potatoes. Thanks for always making food and letting me help :).
We got to babysit Merrick and Livvy for a while. On the way home Liv didn't want anything but for you to hold her.
Your first time going to Hawaii! I'm glad you were able to do so many things. Kayayking, boat tour and whale watching, helicopter tour, ziplining, and a luau! I'm sorry you got hurt and had to get stitches though :(. I felt so bad I couldn't be there and kiss you better and hold you.
We went to Tilted Kiln and painted mugs for each other. I love mine!
Party in Vegas! You went to a Jonas brothers concert and I tagged along. Tacobell and Freemont street were fun, and I had a blast at the comedy cellar. Then we went to the Bellagio and Shark Reef!
The weather cancelled our Valentines day plans so we ended up doing that later and went to Texas Roadhouse instead.
We climbed the white rock with Paisley. And that night we did some face masks!
We made a quick weekend trip to Rendondo. I had a great time travelling with you. We went to a japanese art museum and found a little japanese garden with some koi fish. We sat on the beach with our toes in the sand and watched the sunset. Had a great night on the pier with some delicious pizza. And then we went to the Long Beach Aquarium and got to pet some sharks. And the jellyfish were so cool!
Delicous brats and mashed potatoes. Thank you!
For some reason at toffee time we decided to climb a cliff. It was tiring but I'm glad we did it :).
Ethan took us ice fishing to Panguitch Lake. It was the first time either of us had ever been. We didn't catch anything but it was still fun to do it with you.
We followed (tried to) a Bob Ross painting tutorial and had a wine night. I think we actually tried for a couple nights before we finished :).
The first pictures I have of us together! We went on a drive through Zions with Paisley and it was a blast. You showed me where you used to work at the Zion Mountain Ranch. And we got little fossil halves from the outpost trinket store.
We said "I love you." for the first time. I cried. 🥰🥰🥰
Happy New Year! You were in Vegas with friends for the new year, but you still came over after and we made some pork tenderloin. I've never really cooked for myself so I appreciate so much that you do it with me and take the time to be together.
Sadly you were in California for Christmas but we celebrated together after. You got me a really nice heated jacket, some buckle pants, and some sweet sweet Malazan maps. And you made us some delicous eggs benedict.
You got me some plants! I love them. The zebra one is awesome! I hope I can keep them alive :)
I somehow don't have any pictures of us together for a while. I hope you do! We were hanging out pretty much every day for the month. Lots of dates and time together. I was falling for you really hard. We became official boyfriend and girlfriend and I was so happy!
Our first date at River Rock for coffee. I was really nervous because I thought you were so pretty, but you were cool and easy to talk too. We had our second date that night and watched a movie. And we kissed! 😘
Our first messaging on Tinder! I thought you were really pretty and I was so excited when you messaged me first! And you gave me your number :)
