Brandon and I at Gulf Shores, AL August 2019

I got lucky enough for Luna to sit still for ONE photo white my wedding hair and makeup was on for a test.

I was considering booping his nose with my ice cream.

The ring the day we got it <3

This photo is very important—it’s our FIRST ONE! Look how short my hair is!

My parents and I before we went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Kevin and Sarah went to DragonCon in ATL with us three years in a row! Each trip was chock full of nerdy fun.

Brandon already had this costume laying around when I met him! He’s Hunter S. Thompson.

I forget which New Year’s at John’s this was. It’s become kind of our own tradition to celebrate New Year’s at his annual throwdown with Devin and Michael.

Laura and I in the gigantic chair at Country’s BBQ. She and some girlfriends took me out for my last night in town before I moved in with Brandon!

Jean and I were lucky enough to go to the same Dragon*Con and coordinated a costume! Here’s us as Applejack and Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Brandon begrudgingly dressed as the arcade owner Motoki from Sailor Moon to go with me for a massive convention photo shoot. He got recognized and was very cute!

Sarah Beth and I, New Year’s 2018

I am lucky enough to have girlfriends who bring me lunch at work like Trillium and Ashley!

Mom and I took a trip in May 2018 for mother’s day weekend down in Gulf Shores. TAKE A DOLPHIN CRUISE. Worth every penny, we promise!

Supporting our LGBTQ friends is very important to Brandon and me. Auburn hosted its first major Pride events in 2018 with major success.

Our first apartment together!

New Year’s 2018, the big proposal! Spoiler: I said yes.

The famous ill-fated Valentine’s heart shaped steak I cooked for our 2nd V-day. Utterly disastrous. Never buy shaped meat as a gimmick.

Brandon doesn’t remember this photo from John’s DragonCon room. I kinda do?

Beth coordinated 2018’s Halloween costume with me! I was a Moth, she was my Lamp <3

Ridley and Autumn crashed DragonCon last year for one night only but we had a blast!

Some of Brandon and my fondest memories involve camp fires and friends.

I’m just standing there, totally dumbfounded.

Brandon puts up with so much of my costumed silliness. Halloween 2017

Timothy and his sister Beth as a pirate and Luna Lovegood, Halloween 2017. I am Godzilla.

We’re smiling but oh man, our first V-day date was a disaster. The guy next to me had 5 Coors Lights with his dinner, crushing me further and further into Brandon’s lap.

I got him to do The Look.

New Year’s 2016, I think? Music is important to us!

Brandon and I at the Alabama National Fair. I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been on camera.

New Year’s at The House of the Blue Tanuki with our best man Michael and his partner Devin have become our own tradition. We always go to Kabuki Japanese restaurant before to soak up the punch!

That time I pushed through a crowd for 30 minutes at DragonCon to get to Trillium and her son Cesare for a Cruxshadows concert. It was so much fun to enjoy them together! (No one asked you, Ridley!)

Major college throwback. Wendy and I as Daria and Jane, Halloween 200X

I met a lot of my friends through an old ex. This photo shows how much they liked and accepted me, even though I was much younger than them. That’s my hat Sarah has on, by the way.

Beth, Wendy, and Sarah, united at last at DragonCon 2018! I love them like older sisters.

Wendy and I made a special date DragonCon2018 to go to a Disney photoshoot as Alice and Ariel! We were so stinking cute and the gallery of cosplays was amazing.

Julie loves this matching-shades picture of us, and I do, too!
