We were beyond excited to get engaged!

We clean up nice!

We love our girl Billie and are so glad she cleaned up for our engagement

Jared introducing Laynie to hiking in the Cleveland Metroparks (a Helfman Thanksgiving tradition)

Exploring the world, this time in Iceland

One of Jared's happiest moments with Laynie - introducing her to his beloved Michigan Wolverines

Although Laynie and Jared don't agree when it comes to their NFL teams (Jets vs Bills), they still love each other very much

Although Jared's dance moves may embarrass Laynie more often than not, he at least knows how to slow dance properly

Traveling the world - this time in Portugal

Laynie may not love beer, but after completing a half marathon with her then boyfriend, it just felt right

Skiing has become an activity that Laynie and Jared have been able to bond over in recent years (and Jared hopes Laynie is ready for some black diamonds soon)

A candid shot of us exploring the beach in Costa Rica in 2021 - if you look closely you can see Jared tell Laynie his plan to propose to her in 2024

A great encapsulation of a couple of our favorite activities - watching Duke basketball (Laynie's passion) and drinking (Jared's passion)
