This is the first photo we have together. It was taken on our third date to see Spiderman: No Way Home. We went to Chili's after!

This was our first Valentine's Day we spent together. We went bowling at Mt. Hawley (and this started our love for bowling dates) and then got dinner at Industry Brewing in Peoria..

This is from our first weekend trip together to Geneva, Illinois. We hit the Adidas outlet (can you tell?) and went to Top Golf this day.

This was taken at a pool day at State Farm Park. We love pool days in the summer!

This is at Kelleher's in Peoria watching my bestfriend's dad's band play (Highway J).

This was Ella's first birthday celebration spent together. We went to Alexander's Steakhouse in Bloomington.

This was also Ella's birthday in 2022. :)

This was taken when Ella came home from England over winter break. We had a belated first anniversary celebration at Joe's Italian in Peoria Heights.

This is in Highland, Illinois where Clay's family is from (also taken when Ella came home from England over winter break). We had some drinks at the park where Clay's parent's got engaged!

Clay got to come to England in April of 2023! This is us in front of Big Ben.

This is us smooching in front of Westminster Abbey!

This is our second anniversary after Ella came home from England and we finally got to move in together! We went to Biaggi's (they are now catering the wedding)

We took a trip to St. Simon's Island, Georgia with Clay's family in July of 2024. It was a beautiful week!

This is at Laney (matron of honor) and Derrick's (groomsmen) wedding in November of 2024.

This is at Grant (groomsmen) and Rachel's rehearsal dinner. Clay was the best man!
