The moment Karen says, "Yes!"

Our second date, Falcons game for Thanksgiving!

We both had to attend the Mayor's Masked Ball for our jobs. We decided to act like we knew each other while there!

Believe it or not, it's Valentine's Day date to watch Sonic the Hedgehog!

A little pre-Wedding celebration with Karen's brother and sister-in-law!

Brunch in December before the engagement. Karen had no idea, but 5 Church almost blew the surprise.

Karen wanted to dress-up and see her cousin Neil in A Christmas Carol. We had Carl's niece, Aashanti, and nephew, Ethan, with us.

It's an Anniversary! Celebrated at Nan Thai Fine Dining

Catching the redeye from Seattle. Karen took Carl's first-class seat so she could sleep through the night. The next day, she found the property that would become our future home! Rest pays off!

Having lunch with Carl's family in Tacoma, WA.

Enjoying the wharf while Karen is working

Daydreaming about creating an art collection that could one day be curated in a museum! We had just finished touring the Kinsey collection at the Tacoma Art Museum
