12/20/19 Our 5 year anniversary ❤️ here we started the tradition of naming every restaurant we’ve been to each anniversary while at dinner

An average long distance date night

Valentine’s Day 2019. Our Valentine’s tradition since our first together has been a night in making surf and turf together rather than braving the restaurant scene lol

COVID times. For us, the silver lining of these harsh times was getting to spend months together we weren’t expecting to. During this time Andrew’s love for cooking flourished!

We celebrated Leia taking part 1 of Boards (the most difficult part) with Giants Spring Training! March 2021

Chasing sunsets has always been a favorite pastime of ours. We celebrated Leia’s birthday with this one on Cuesta Ridge

12/1/2022 the night we became fiancés! Andrew surprised Leia with a dress and a private boat ride along the river in Hoi An, Vietnam.

The front deck of the boat was decorated with lanterns, candles, and petals. It was such a gorgeous scene. After the proposal we wished upon and released candles on the river before dinner on the boat

The next morning Andrew scheduled an engagement photo shoot with the photographer that captured our engagement in Old Town Hoi An. It was pouring! We used one of these photos for our Save the Dates ❤️

Christmas 2022! We were hiding a big secret! We found out we were going to be parents a few days earlier on our 8 year anniversary 👶🏽🎄

Andrew moved to SLO to be with Leia shortly after finding out Aletta was on her way! We were so glad to be done with long distance and excited to settle down on the Central Coast

We shot our baby announcement photos during a wildflower super bloom 🌸

Being a resident while pregnant is no joke! We flew to Memphis shortly before Leia’s third trimester for her residency presentation
