Drew proposed on our drive from Ft. Lauderdale down to the Florida Keys. This was taken right after, at the first restaurant we could find!

We bought a house and started a business together all at the same time! 2021 was a huge year for us!

Our first home! We officially became Detroit Residents in 2021.

We love getting outside and hiking. This photo was taken at the Sleeping Bear Dunes in Northern Michigan

Drew's parents live in Buffalo, NY and we have had such a great time visiting them and getting to see all the beautiful sights in northwestern New York!

Hiking in Michigan's Upper Peninsula!

An extremely eventful trip with friends to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Note: a boat cruise to see the Pictured Rocks is a great idea, just try not to book the "riptide ride" version!!

Our first trip to Austin was such a blast that we knew we'd be back someday!

Our first trip to Austin! We loved the Hill Country so much that... well you know the rest :)

We love traveling! Covid has been a reality for most of our relationship, so we've had limited opportunities, but we've made the most of it! This is the top of Willis (Sear's) Tower in Chicago.

4th of July in Cleveland, OH!

We love trying (and making!) food and drinks. We spent a lot of time exploring local restaurants, bars, breweries, and distilleries in and around Royal Oak, MI while we were living there.

Enjoying a fun day out in Ferndale, MI

Exploring seasonal festivities at Campus Martius in Detroit, MI

We loved our tour of the Ford Piquette Plant more than we expected! A huge part of Detroit's history and deep roots of our new neighborhood - Detroit's Milwaukee Junction/North End area.

"Bark in the Park" 2021 at Comerica Park

Before Covid, we got to do a lot of fun Detroit social events - we're looking forward to the time that big events are common again!

Hippie Dog is a huge part of our relationship. We both love her to pieces!

Drew's mom came to visit us and we took her on a tour of Detroit!

We love art and history museums. This was taken at a very quirky, slightly creepy, "found art" exhibit at Detroit's MOCAD in 2019!
