Our first photo together, taken on what was basically a double date, though we were just friends.

Katie's 18th birthday party. We were both crushing, but she told people that if anything, it would just be a "summer fling." As if.

A friend snapped this candid of us. This was a few days before we decided to put a label on it.

After two and a half months of testing out long distance, this was Katie's first trip Phoenix.

Our first Christmas-time stroll through Wakefield Wonderland.

Justin came to Colorado to work with the camp Katie was running for a week. This was the color war. (Justin threw blue powder directly into my eyes in the first few seconds and I was not pleased.)

Last night in Colorado tradition includes hiking to the top of a mountain and waiting for sunrise. It was beautiful.

Our first visit to Griffith Observatory. Justin likes it there.

Taken on one of our many picnic-in-the-park type dates.

First family vaycay with Justin. Bass Lake is such a special place.

The very first time we hung out alone, we played tennis together. (Honestly, not sure why that's what we did.)

One of those long drives between Phoenix and Valencia.

Another new year, still the same boy.

When graduation was cancelled, we celebrated with a fancy dinner and a fake ceremony.

We love celebrating the start of our friends new lives together!

Yes, yes, yes.

My face when I saw my guy, ready to propose.

Oh to be engaged during coronavirus.
