The first picture of Hoosier Xen ever sent me. Love at first sight.

Our first pic together! Also the first Jags/Colts game we went to. Annnd the first time I met his group of friends. A lot of firsts that day.

Our first concert together. Live and Counting Crows. Don't you dare judge. Just look at the magnificent, yet filtered, photo of us.

We had so much fun at our first concert together, we decided to do it again and see OAR the very next night.

Since we had met on Xen's birthday, this was the first birthday of Jackie's that we spent together in 2018.

Then 3 weeks later it was Xen's bday. Marking one year since we'd met.

This picture was taken right around the time Xen finally called me his "girlfriend". Took long enough...

Xen's first (so far only) Rangers game! Rangers won in a shoot out!

Hoosie-Wan Kenobi

NYE 2019. First official New Years as a couple.

Our first time skipping out on work to gamble and day drink together... I mean, going to TPC.

Sunday snuggles were always our favorite. All 3 of us laying on the couch together. Our favorite place to be.

First Jimmy Eat World concert together. <SIGH>

I knew I loved Xen from the moment we met. But this is around the time I knew I never wanted to let him go. Notice the major grip on his arm. I literally did not want to let him go.

There are birthday parties, and then there are EPIC birthday parties. This was one of them. Totally Rad 90s Birthday Party. Sept 2019

Although we've gone out of town together before. This was the first time we'd be on vacation together, to Siesta Key no less.

We never went anywhere without our Hoosie. Yes, he'd gone from just being Xen's to Ours. He loved the beach!

2 years to the day, we recreated the very first moment Xen and I met. Standing in the same exact spot. Doing exactly what I had wanted to do the second I saw him...kissing him.

Does this pic look familiar? It should. It was the first Christmas card we sent out. If it doesn't look familiar, I am sorry...you'll be on the Christmas card list next year =)

I mean...come on. This made the jumbotron, rightfully so.

TPC. Hours before the world lost its mind and turned upside down. Thanks, Covid. Ironically, the year we had the BEST tickets.

Quarantine = Jackie moving into Xen's apt, hanging out with Hoosier all day while Xen ("essential employee" heavy eye roll) went into work. But...we had Happy Hour zoom calls with friends!

Quarantine = watching Hoosie nap all day.

Quarantine = this is normal, right?

Quarantine = Hoosie snuggles in between his naps.

I know, I know...its a bit much.

2 best friends that anyone could have...

Casa Marina...socially distanced of course.

🤍

Love conquers all. Even face masks.

Is this a flattering pic of me? NO. But. it is the very last night we shared in Xen's apt before he officially moved into the house.

Unbeknownst to us, this was our last holiday season with our beloved Hoosier.

What an ideal Friday night was in our house. Jackie and her boys.

Hoosie's 15th Birthday! Looking back, we are so happy we made that day as special as it was.

Our first Petesgiving together.

The night Xen asked for my parents' blessing

The picture we shared with friends and family the night of our engagement.

The night of the proposal!

Jags/Colts game. Once betrothed I found it necessary to support Xen's team.

Here's to growing old together.
