Watching the sun set on our final evening in Tanzania. The KANKAN Safari was a trip of a lifetime!

Moving back to the Midwest means mandatory Milwaukee trips to stock up on Spotted Cow

Exploring the mountains outside of Taipei while taking advantage of both having a winter break

Our first time walking down the aisle! Thank you to Lexie & John--then quickly followed by Jake & Acacia--for giving us some practice

Our first photo after reconnecting in LA, three years after meeting

During Kellogg's pre-orientation trip, personal details aren't revealed until Day 4 during Big Reveal. This was the trip's reaction to finding out Kelsey & Ethan were dating!

One of Ethan's many talents: archery! For his 25th birthday, Kelsey took him to the US Olympic archery training facility where he hit allll the targets (Kelsey... participated)

"Where are Kelsey and Ethan?" The answer for the first three years of our relationship was always: the beach. Kelsey went to the beach more in six months of dating Ethan than in the previous decade.

Our first trip to one of our favorite places in the world, Mexico City

Celebrating Kyle & Lya at wedding #2 of 3

Enjoying NYC on our first trip to Ethan's hometown

We ventured out to Palm Springs for an art biennale. Outside with masks! Never forget that we started dating the first day of the pandemic.

Our first Christmas together! One of the best days of the year

For our first big trip together, we spent two glorious weeks in Spain

Enjoying a summer trip to Mammoth. It turns out the ski mountain is still pretty great without snow!

It took a few years, but we finally figured out the difference between travel & vacation. Cabo '22 was a full embrace of the later

Fourth of July '21 in Hermosa Beach

Ethan adopted the Allen-Niesen's deep love of the Olympics after celebrating the Tokyo Opening Ceremonies at the LA Coliseum

Little known fact: Kelsey loves a very old ship. Here we are at the Cutty Sark, a highlight from our trip to London!

Another highlight of our London trip: Silverstone Qualifiers.

We bring this energy to every party, especially Kyle & Lya's fantastic Mexico City wedding

2023-2024 was our year of weddings and we loved celebrating so many of our friends. This time, we cheers'd Haley & Adam on a gorgeous rooftop in Hollywood.

Celebrating Sara & Amir at the most fabulous Ojai celebration!!

Our last night in LA before Kelsey moved to Chicago. It's only fitting that we ended up at In N Out

Wherever we are, we always try to get a cooking class in, so we can replicate the local food at home.

With every Wednesday night off, Tuesday nights at Kellogg have been filled with a lot of socializing (and never enough games of caps)

Reaching across the 38th parallel during our trip to the DMZ

Kelsey will never question Ethan's patience again after he accompanied her to every BTS-themed store in sight across Seoul

Seoul winter is no joke, but it has nothing on Chicago! Enjoying Gyeongbokgung Palace last December

One of the best parts of Kellogg has been expanding our international community. In Taipei, our local friends took us to their favorite spots, including this 10/10 dessert shop

Our -1 wedding anniversary coincided with two of our Kellogg friends getting engaged. We can't wait to pass the torch (bouquet?) to you, Niah & David!!

A quick weekend trip to Mexico City

Our first (of hopefully many!) trip to Napa with Kellogg's Cork & Screw wine club

Bar hopping across NYC after Thanksgiving last year. Stop #1: wine bar for Kelsey. Stop #2: the oldest beer spot in NYC with two options on tap & sawdust covering the floor.

Ethan has an incredible talent for making Kelsey's childhood dreams come true. For her 27th birthday, he brought one of her favorite books growing up to life with a hot air balloon ride.

Hiking in Yosemite in 2020. We'll always be grateful to have quarantined in California where we could spend every extra moment outdoors.

If you made it this far in the gallery, we love you!! Can't wait to celebrate together so soon.
