Down Memory Lane

The Night Lights-- an event where we sent lanterns into the sky creating that starry background. It was a beautiful experience we both cherish.

Early on in our dating phase, we would always put a smile on both our faces. :)

First season together-- Christmas, my favorite time of the year! Plus, it's Scott's birthday month!

First Friday walk in Phoenix, our first official date as boyfriend and girlfriend. Amongst our many gazillion pictures, this is Scott's home screen wallpaper on his cellphone... until his phone broke!

Scott is a very sweet and thoughtful man, he would give me flowers even without an occasion to celebrate. :)

When Scott was already in love with me and I was still bottling up my strong feelings for him. LOL

We love the outdoors! Hiking up a mountain..

....Or hiking by the ocean.

Our dog, Layla, will hike with us too. :)

Scott's version of " How I met your mother" series. :D

The night we shared our first kiss and I became his girlfriend. <3

First valentine date at Restaurant Progress in PHX. Food was bomb!

First reggae concert (Roots Festival) together. We were both stoked to see Steel pulse up close, they were so entertaining!

Scott planned a birthday trip for me and we had so much fun paddle boarding at Blue Ridge Reservoir. The combination of pine trees and lake is otherworldly!

We also stumbled upon this beauty, the Mogollon Rim, an unplanned discovery by literally getting lost in the mountains without cell coverage. LOL

Took so much effort and team work to get to this place too but hey, it's worth it!

We hiked down to this incredible place and only a few people can get to this trail. We got lost many times and beat up his car due to forest dirt roads. Again, worth it!

We both love the sunset and the beach. <3

For Scott, surfing is his way of life and if he had a chance to wear a wet suit all day, he would. He was so happy seeing me wearing one, HAHA.

This was probably the time we both knew we were meant to be together forever. <3 (For me at least, because apparently for Scott, he already knew since day one!)

This trip was meant to celebrate Scott graduating from nursing school and passing the NCLEX boards. Taken at Zion National Park. Super cool rock formations that almost looked like a wave. Yaas!

Our shadows be cheesin' hard too. HAHA

Yay for Scott getting his second degree! Off we hiked at Water Canyon trail in Utah to immerse with mother nature during the peak of the pandemic, the ultimate enjoyable social distancing!

We went jet skiing at Lake Powell and discovered this secret place! It was pretty amazing!

Emerald green water and golden canyons, seriously, this place is out of this world!

Being all touristy at the Horse shoe bend :D

Beautiful and chilly Fall hiking at Mt. Charleston in Nevada.

Sometimes though we just want to chill and discover a hip city-- e.g. ATX!

We are a very silly couple, but Scott is way crazier than I am!

Sometimes he annoys me by not being proper on pictures...

So I end up annoying him as well because we had to take many shots until we get a nice photo! LOL!

Then we resort to "fake smiling" it through HAHAHA

But this definitely shows genuine smile of us as a newly engaged couple on October 11, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Scott proposed in front of my grandparents in a parking lot, not the typical kind and I found it meaningful. :)

And so yes, we will happily marry each other, despite the pandemic! <3
