Happy smiley baby Michiel.

Us, ice cream, being silly. Those things haven't changed since 2015.

The famous card that Michiel sent me indicating he was liking me more than friends 👀

Where it all started. We stayed friends for over 5 years but that day, Michiel and I decided to catch up and video chat. We continued to talk and talk and talk and talk….every day!

When we did an 'emoji-only' day. This is Hannah explaining a dream she had.

My dad and I

Michiel as a toddler, having lots of fun playing with sand on the balcony.

Everyday or every night I’d listen to Michiel’s voice messages on what’s up. Emmett the dog was a part of that ☺️

Our mutual friend Luna from China had given me a origami bill and told me to spend it on something fun when I got back to America.I waited years later and knew our first date day was perfect to use it

Our first date/double date!

The first official weekend Michiel came to VA after we started dating. It was a big moment for us!

At our favorite park (Geneva, NY) with our all time favorite food to grab when we ar stop busy to cook: Wegmans subs

Our first picture in a beautiful park back in October

We pretty much always cook together now

Our first “couple” picture before we were a couple!

When Hannah sent me a big box of home-made cookies before I had asked her out... yumm... Also got me thinking: "maybe she like me too.."

Long distance relationship for 3 months stinks! But we made the most out of that time ☺️

When I was in the hospital earlier this year and Michiel was there everyday taking care ❤️

Our indoor picnic/moment Michiel proposed

The moment right after I said yes ❤️😍

Buying a toilet seat for our apartment, feeling like real adults.

The year it all began....
