High school graduation-- we had been going on dates for about a year before we graduated!

One of our first dates in college was to the fish hatchery and the salmon waterfall!

Chad went with me to cut down my first Christmas tree of my own, in the Redding forests, our first semester of college.

Our trip to Lassen National Forest

Chad gave me a break from college studying and snuck me to a romantic picnic on a golf course after hours so we had all the scenery to ourselves!
