Happily engaged!

We took a last minute trip to Canada to sort out an immigration situation. So we spent the night in Sarnia, Ontario and visited a local brewery!

Cruising around the beach at Allie's family's house on the Cape.

Celebratory drinks at Deep Ellum after Michelle defended her dissertation!

We were really excited about finding these amazing fall colors on campus!

The first hiking trip we took together in Franconia, New Hampshire.

Enjoying a drink at the local bar near our new apartment in Hyde Park.

We got all dressed up to go to the Opera! Michelle could barely see the stage (this was before she realized she needed glasses...) but it was fun none-the-less!

Michelle's sister Cheryl snapped this photo when we were showing the family around the Chicago waterfront.

We celebrated the welcoming of 2019 at a local Chicago bar with our great friends, Molly and Dan!

Michelle grew up in Niagara Falls (the Canadian side!) and loved bringing James home to visit. Now they visit pretty regularly and always enjoy walking around by the river.

Michelle and James did some engagement photos on campus, and Michelle kept wanting to high five! It didn't really work well...

After successfully updating Michelle's visa status, we celebrated our return to the USA with some Canadian hot beverages and ice cream.
