First time we met (that I remember)! Clergy Retreat 2024 - I was helping my mom serve the high school kids and Justin was on vacation. In this picture, we're doing a scavenger hunt in San Diego.

This was the picture that Justin posted on instagram as our first pic together (it was a surprise for me, for some reason). I asked him why this picture out of all of them and he said he just chose the first one he saw.

We both lost our sunglasses in the span of a week so went and bought new ones from a thrift store together. Our combined forgetfulness is a blessing in a really good disguise.

Also our one year anniversary - we lost an escape room because we were late and I think you can see my devastation.

Revisited the spot of our first date before all Sprinkles locations closed down! Due to our aforementioned forgetfulness, we didn't actually make it before it closed for the night but we got a picture in front!

New Years Day! We tried to go to Sky Zone but it was full of 3-5 year olds (I guess it should've been unsurprising) so we went on a walk in the rain instead and had a great time.

An appreciation post for chess, which has occupied our time during too many dates to count. I can now win occasionally when he doesn't have one of his rooks.
