Summer family adventure to a California safari park

Happy campers at our first Thanksgiving together Nov 2021 - I impressed Robert with my cornish hens ;)

Robert has taken me to Antarctica 2x! The first time was after just 3 months of dating. Antarctica is where I first told Robert I loved him... he loved me right back.

Flying to Antarctica!!

Clearly, I will follow Robert to the ends of the earth. Antarctica 2022.

It was a joy to watch Robert film a pilot in Antarctica the first time we went. This pic was on a "snow flow" we reached by zodiac. It was pure magic.

Grateful to my bridesmaid Ktrox for getting married to her love in Ireland so that we got to go on another adventure! Here's a pic of us at her reception.

Celebrating our 2 year dating anniversary in Pacific Grove! Dining out is one of my favorite (and Robert's least favorite) things... This night he indulged me with a dance lesson then dinner <3

Celebrating Emerson's 15th bday with my parents and a round of put put at Quail Lodge in Carmel

Snuggled up keeping warm in Robert's blanket of a beard during his first trip ever trip to New Orleans! Christmas of 2022.

Hanging out in Chile before our second Antarctic expedition, Jan 2023

We are so lucky to live right by Point Lobos! It's an incredible hike in Carmel along the coast.

With my parents at the Roosevelt in New Orleans

Showing Robert my happy place - the Grand Hotel in Fairhope, AL! I've visited the Grand Hotel almost every Christmas since I was born. It will always hold a BIG place in my heart.

Celebrating my 34th bday with a garden party at the house. To date, this is likely my favorite weekend of my life.. this was the first time my parents met Robert and the kids. My heart was overflowing

Scotland and Ireland... here we come!!! Summer of 2022.

Our luggage was nowhere to be found during our Scotland trip - but we were still happy as could be! Pic from our first night there - in Edinburgh

Staying at the Dunstane House in Edinburgh (now called the Roseate) highly recommend!

Wandering the streets of Edinburgh

My 34th Bday

With the family for New Year's Eve 2022 - it was my first time making a delicious duck! Happy to all be together in celebration.

Red Hot Chili Peppers concert in Glasgow was cancelled so we set off on an adventure by foot.

Exploring Glasgow

Cheers! Enjoying a boat tour on Loch Lomond in Scotland

On New Year's Day January 2023

Our first Christmas in December 2021... little did I know that two years later, we would be getting engaged in this very spot!

Wining and Dining at the Cameron House in Loch Lomond, Scotland

Safari Adventure with the family

A sweet little church turned coffee shop we stopped into on the drive from Loch Lomond to the Isle of Skye (in Scotland)

The sweetest of gestures from Robert... to surprise me on my 34th bday (when my parents met him and the kids for the first time), we all planted a family tree together and I fell deeper in love.

Flying high with Robert and Emerson in Monterey (Fun fact: Robert is a pilot!)

Exploring the magical Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye!!

At Lillian's request, we went as a family of hearts for Halloween in 2022

awe-inspiring views and giggle-inducing winds on the Isle of Skye in Scotland

Feeling playful and joyful on our first family vacation - in Kauai - summer of 2022. (Do not try this at home - apparently plumeria are toxic, whoops)

smiling in the snow flurries, Antarctica 2023

Chasing all the waterfalls (Isle of Skye, Scotland)

For our first Valentine's celebration in 2022, we decided to get all dolled and stay in. We clean up nicely if I do say so myself! ;)

Blue Skies Smiling At Me.. Nothing But Blue Skies Do I See...

Pic from the first trip where Robert and my parents met!! I am the absolute happiest when my people are together.

Pulled over for a sunset pic in Kauai

I can't wait to look at this face forever (fun times in Antarctica)

We crossed the polar circle... twice!

One of my favorite memories of all time is staying at the gorgeous Ballynahinch Castle in Galway, Ireland. We vowed to go back on our 10 year anniversary - holding you to that, Mr. Knight! ;)

Brrrr... two crazy kids

At Robert's surprise 53rd beach birthday party... a memorable time (in part because of wind advisory level winds haha)

Peace and Love... a party at the Aptos house where I lived for five years.

Crazy how much the kiddos have grown since this pic a couple years ago! Having lunch in Big Sur.

At Kaitlyn Troxler's wedding in Ireland.. I was a bridesmaid and Robert was my oh so handsome date.

Aloha from our family to yours!

<3 Family Kauai Vacation

Skipping through the wildflowers in Ireland

Just chilling on this ice couch

luau <3

I had always wanted to host a Kentucky Derby party.. so I did! Here we are with family friend Maxine.

Our Kauai vacation inspired Lillian's fourth birthday party... a luau!

Line Dancing, of course!

We fit so much travel adventure into our first year together.. And spent our second year primarily nestling into our cozy home together, building the foundation for our lives together.

Stealing kisses in the backyard.

I love this picture! So much joy.

Robert popping the question on Christmas Day!! I bent down to look him straight in the eyes!

Aboard the Magellan Explorer on an Earth Expeditions trip! Earth Expeditions is Robert's travel company..

Love the light in this pic. Summertime adventures with the family in California.

Our first Halloween together - one month after our first date! Naturally, I was the devil and Robert was an angel (you can spot his wings in another pic) ;)
