Spring Semester 2017 - Esther (accidentally) stumbled upon the USAFA Judo club where she met Robbie. One thing led to another and they started dating 29 Jun 2017!

May 2018: Ring Dance! (Junior Year)

Post Esther breaking her collar bone, one of the many bumps and bruises along the way.

May 2019: Finals Week! On the day of your last final Senior Year, it is a USAFA tradition to jump into the fountains to celebrate that we've finally made it.

May 2019: After graduation, they spent 3 years in a long distance relationship with Robbie at Tucson, AZ and Esther at Edwards, CA.

Summer 2019 - Summer 2022: Their relationship grew through all the 8.5hr drives, disc golf, coffee dates, Disney trips, facetiming, BJJ, and other adventures on the West Coast.

First time at Disneyland and California Adventure for Esther!

Teaching Esther to play disc golf.

And plenty of good food in California whether it was an LA hotspot, or just IHOP together before Robbie headed back home.

And many mornings checking out the best coffee spots we could find. Robbie even learned to roast his own coffee!

Did we mention we liked food...

It was always hard saying goodbye.

But always great to be back together. (Esther somehow got conned into a week long jiujitsu camp in AZ)

Aug 2022: The Air Force blessed them by moving them both to Eglin AFB, FL where they could be together once again!

They attended lots of friend's weddings.

And enjoyed the holidays together.

20 Oct 2023 - Robbie created his own version of the Disney Skyliner Scavenger Hunt with a proposal being the prize (Yes...Esther was completely oblivious to his plans and had no clue).

This was the exact moment Robbie proposed at the end of the hunt in a photobooth.

She said YES!!!

Dec 2023: Got their first furbaby, Buddy, who we love and spoil so much!!

July 2024: Parents meet (officially) for the first time. Unofficially, they coincidentally met May 2019 during Graduation!

Present day: They continued their adventures with more Disney trips, coffee dates, training jiujitsu together, buying their 1st home, lots of game nights, and more!

7 years later, they've had a rollercoaster of an adventure to get to where they are now, but...

They finally got their Happily Ever After.
