After going on a few dates in December 2016, Jayden visited Shelby in LA for MLK weekend. It was risky since they had only interacted three times in person but by the end of the weekend, Jayden was ready to say, "I think I love you."

This was 5 months into our long-distance relationship, on another LA visit. It was too early to know if we loved each other, and yet we did.

Eventually, Jayden moved out of Utah. Although he did most of the driving during their long distance relationship, Shelby visited Jayden in a lot of his new hometowns - like Santa Barbara!

This was a picnic Jayden surprised Shelby with in Santa Barbara. She thought she was getting a proposal. Nope, just charcuterie.

And of course, can't do Chicago without hitting Lollapalooza!

The dingledom has had many adventures! This is us biking through Mexico City. Probably right before Jayden grabbed Shelby's handle brake and they both flew off their bikes into the street lol.

We stopped in Wyoming when we were moving Jayden back to Santa Barbara from Chicago.
