Photos

Of the two of us, we'd agree Addison had the most creative ideas for our photo session :)

Our first photo together (taken at Erica's parents' home) after we started dating on November 26, 2019. Time has flown!

The freezing rain couldn't stop us from exploring Wellfleet on our first Christmas. Even our feet weren't cold!

We both have some theatrical tendencies...

While dating long distance, we visited each other as often as we could. This picture is from the Botanical gardens during Erica's first visit to Richmond!

"Well then, your hands are cold." (Any Pride & Prejudice lovers out there?!)

Covid-19 proved a challenge for all of us. But one unforeseen blessing was being able to spend much more time together. Here was the first of many covid-dinner-dates!

Lots of sparks flew in the kitchen of Erica's cottage! This night we cooked until after ten, trying to perfect a recipe for Chips y Mayai (fries and eggs) - Tanzanian soul food.

Pros of dating a campaign staffer: You get volunteered to help with an all-day, (mostly) outdoor political convention in July! Erica is a natural.

Pros of dating a church staffer: You get drafted into an advent reading! Addison brought his best phone-voice (and fire-starting skills!).

Our first slow dance together, celebrating Evan and Christy's wedding!

"Will you marry me, Erica?" "Yes - yes, a thousand times - YES!"

Here's to always making each other laugh.

Sipping tea, laughing, and playing fiercely competitive boardgames? You would be hard pressed to pick a more quintessential photo!

The elevation was only 3080 feet - but we sure felt on top of the world!
