Very early picture from one of our first dates, taken at Rocky Neck State Park. We love to laugh together.

As I said, our relationship is full of a lot of laughter (though I can't always tell if he's laughing WITH me, or at my goofy antics! He'd probably say a mix!)

Our first trip (well, after the yurt in New Hampshire of course!). Erik was in Roatan for work for 2 weeks and I got to fly out and spend a week with him

Kalalau Trail in Kauai
Kalalau Trail in Kauai
Beginning of our 5 day backpacking journey of the Napali Coast in Kauai on the Kalalau Trail. 16 miles with side trails to majestic waterfalls, 5,000 feet elevation gain. It was an epic adventure!

Waimea Canyon in Koke'e State Park in Kauai where we camped and hiked a few days (I guess we have a thing for state parks! Makes sense we're getting married in one!)

Another top favorite hike by home. We celebrated the fall equinox here with a Native Ojibwe pipe ceremony led by our friend Rick, and were treated to a chorus of howling coyotes and an owl encounter!

A soundbooth we built for clients in NYC (a side business we had for a while after the success of the booth Erik built me at the cabin enabling me to continue working as a voice actor from home)!

Our pack! Another thing I cherish Erik for is how he loves and cares for Wilson, my 14 year old pup. Erik carries him on hikes when the going gets tough so we don't have to leave our friend behind!

Celebrating my sister Lauren at her Halloween birthday bash. We got real original and dressed like a couple of hippies! Looking back, I wonder if this wig was the inspiration for Erik's long hair...

Scrambling up a 30 ft cliff to meditate on a ledge with our friends Trevor and Nyna! Just as we finished, the loudest thunder clap I ever heard in my life boomed throughout the valley. It was magic!
