Film on the beach

On June 24th, 2024, we went on a walk through the woods surrounded by thousands of fireflies! It was so romantic and wholesome, that is the night that Michael asked Lorelei to be his girlfriend!

We watched the stars all Summer long and also got to experience the Aurora Borealis together for the first time

From the beginning, we've shared a love of the outdoors and staying active with eachother. We look forward to many more hikes during this lifetime.
