14 Firsts: First impressions: Aurora: Well he was on Policy’s dance floor for about 5 seconds before I started dancing with him, so I think that speaks for itself. Justin: From the first time we locked eyes, you could feel the connection between us. First official date: Right Proper First time Aurora knew she really liked Justin: Easy, the first time I saw Justin wholeheartedly accept Fox into his life. He immediately recognized that Fox and I were a package deal. He did the same with Taz too. To see Fox at age 15 bond with Justin told me everything I needed to know about who I was falling in love with. First time Justin knew he really liked Aurora: When Aurora left for a couple of days on vacation to Florida, DC didn't seem the same without her here. First baseball game: May 4, 2015 Nats v. Miami Marlins First Instagram post: Zoofari on the carousel. Aurora rode a horse and Justin rode a Fox. First concert: Galactic @ 930 Club

First road trip: Delaware! Justin, Fox and I loaded a tent into my car in August 2015 and joined some friends camping next to the beach one weekend. First international trip: Costa Rica. Waterfalls, horseback riding and ziplines, oh my! First puppy: Dasher joined our family in March 2017 and Micco followed a little over a year later. Our lives are a lot more active because of these two (well, mostly because of Dasher). First time living together: We moved to Navy Yard in July 2017. First time in each other’s hometowns: Aurora finally made it to Burlington last October and thoroughly enjoyed her first Bingo night in Kansas. Justin says it depends what “hometown” we’re talking about. He made his first trip to Ridgefield for Priscilla’s birthday in April 2017 and visited Newport the summer before. First college football game together: In October 2016 we flew down to Austin and joined Sid to watch Texas play Baylor (Hook ‘Em, Horns!). First horse show: The day before Aurora’s first college football game. It was a fair tradeoff.
