The Journey Begins

After 3 years together, we are ready to start our next adventure together. Earlier this year Justin and I made the exciting decision to pursue his dream to become a commercial airline pilot. With that in mind and knowing we wanted to get married, we did things a bit backwards. We decided to set a date and to let the proposal happen naturally. Little did we realize that with the wedding happening in my small home town, word spread quickly. Once we requested a date and a meeting with the priest, the congratulations on our engagement began. We quickly explained and welcomed the fun story to come. On Easter 2019, Justin safety pinned a ring in his pocket and we set out for a wooded run through Virginia Beach to a small waterfront cove, where he proposed. As soon as I said yes, the rapid planning began for a date only 6 short months away. With the help of family and friends, planning flew by with ease. As we look ahead to the new adventure that awaits us, we wanted to share a few things with you about ourselves. Justin is for some reason still a Steelers fan despite his loyalties to Ohio State Football, the Cleveland Indians, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I remain a Cleveland Browns fan despite the Fletcher pressures. We love Barrio happy hour enough for it to make an appearance as a menu option at our wedding. We love new adventures like skiing and snowboarding out West, road tripping across the country for my travel therapy jobs and now for Justin's career change, and hiking through Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Montana, and Canada. Most of all, we value our families and all the gifts they have given us over the years. While we move away to new adventures, we both know that one day we'll be back...and in the mean time, they are always welcome to our humble but small abode. Love, Justin and Kristen
