The Tinder profile that started it all.

Spoiler alert. He swiped right.

Our first picture together. On our second date, we went to the Whitewater Center’s Tuck Fest to see our favorite band Caamp play some tunes. Ft. Calvin and Katie Hamilton ♥️

Fourth date. We carpooled to FL for Mother’s Day, and each met the parents. This is at a sunrise service Kristen’s dad preached at Mother’s Day morning. Austin’s parents came too!

The start of the usual date night for us. This is taken at Sesquicentennial State Park, where we met for the first time.

Memorial Day weekend 2019. Austin’s foray into Kristen’s friend group. He was a hit.

Kristen showing Austin how to be a Floridian. Açaí bowls, the beach, and shaka life brah. 🤙🏽

Kristen’s “little sister” (through big brothers big sisters), Lazariah taught us the dance to Cowboy Boogie. Austin’s rhythm and dance moves earned him her approval right away.

Our favorite mode of transportation on date nights.

Our first family photo!

First time Austin made it into a Steury family photo!

Austin’s favorite hobby is making fun of Kristen’s high school modeling pictures.

Taking pictures of our friends’ engagement got us feeling real smitten.

First backpacking trip together!

Date nights are always better with a sunset.

When in SC

Spending our weekend tailgating and cheering for the Gamecocks!

We balance each other out.

Forever hiking buddies.

Austin making his way into family photos ♥️

WE GOT YOU FOR THREE MINUTES OF PLAY TIME WITH THE BONE SAW(s)

Austin really outdid himself for year 1 of Kristen’s birthday celebration. A bike ride to this setup with a homemade charcuterie board, a personalized kuksa filled with coffee, and a glass of wine.

Kristen’s annual birthday camp trip!

Firth Thompson Thanksgiving for Kristen! Lots of baby practice with Austin’s v cute nephew, Thomas.

Austin speaking Kristen’s love language by planning a sunset bike ride. Oh and check it out mom, no hands!

Welcome to the home land.

The best picture ever. Austin proving he’s going to be the best dad ever with Kristen’s nephew Colton.

The best way to see Kristen’s parents’ farm in Zambia.

Look at those muscles. I mean how could I not marry this man. (Can you tell who’s writing these captions?)

Look at that beautiful smile! How could I not marry this woman? (Can you tell who's writing these captions?)

Lazariah teaching us how to make (some pretty dang good!) fried chicken.

Date night looks a little different when it’s cold outside. No paddles or sunsets, but the same smiles.

Bringing all of the good vibes to Austin’s (our?) back yard. Just add string lights.

Pushing ourselves and encouraging each other through one of the toughest trails we’ve done! (White Mesa in New Mexico)

After said ride. We earned those beers! 🍻

Paddle boarding in Austin’s parents’ backyard at sunset is one of our favorite parts of going home.

Quarantine workouts’ humble beginnings in Kristen’s back yard.

First quarantine project was turning Austin’s storage building into a gym, starting with peeling back carpet and polishing the concrete floors. His face says it all.

The finished product. And now our favorite room in the house!

Quarantine friends! And Austin’s dream night (aka Catan!).

Sunset skate sessions may have been the best thing to come from quarantine (besides the gym of course).

...and sunset bikes. Are you seeing a trend? Oh yeah and our neighbors hired goats to mow their lawn.

Just looking at this photo gives us PTSD. But you won’t find a speck of wallpaper remaining in this house.

Making Frazier earn his way into skate dates - just pull us bud.

Date night with Kristen's preferred scenery, anywhere by the water.

Showing Kristen around an Air Force Base in our matching flight suits!

Kristen surprised me with a Catan themed birthday party. It was absolutely incredible.

Right after teaching Lazariah how to throw a football!

Venturing into the wilds as a family.

Acting our age.

Hang loose!

The moment of our proposal atop Ruth Glacier. The good news is you can't see my nerves or Kristen's tears.

Sooo pitted!

Our incredible view from where we got engaged!

Celebratory bottle poppin' afterward!

Checking out her ice (on the ice).

Enjoying the comforts of home.

Figuring out our daily routines in the van.

First picture of us with the van right after getting engaged. If you can't tell, we are on cloud nine.

Soaking it all in.

It was at about this moment during my baptism that Kristen whispered to me, "Oh no, I don't have you."

Thanking Kristen for being the love of my life and reinvigorating my faith. It was an honor to have her baptize me.

My family was able to make it out for my baptism!

Our friends threw us an engagement party made complete with a playlist made for us titled, Thompson Safari.

Charcuterie is often simply an appetizer, but in the hands of a capable expert (Kristen's) it can become a 5-star meal.

Taking our last walk around Kristen's neighborhood before packing up her things.

Saying goodbye to living just around the corner from your favorite restaurant.
