How We Got Here

Our first long trip together, visiting Carolyn's sister Kristin in Massachusetts.

Mike visiting NIU for Homecoming and his birthday. It was so cold and rainy, but we had the best hotdogs for lunch.

Mike tackling Carolyn after she walked at graduation.

Right after we got engaged at Taste of Grayslake

Mike proposed right at the side of a pond

Halloween Pirates!

When Carolyn totaled her car on her way to see Mike, he left work immediately and drove an hour and a half to come pick her up. He even drove down to Dekalb to meet her parents halfway.

Visiting Carolyn's parents for Easter! She didn't know until later, but this was when Mike asked her dad if he could marry her.

Mike and Carolyn were long distance for the first 2 years of their relationship. Thank god for Skype and Snapchat!
