First photo together! He asked me to coffee for Tuesday, I asked him on hike the following Saturday.

Shoutout to Bart and Lynn Jennings for this one! Acai bowls after a hike.

Popi was dying to take us to Los Rancheros #2! Mexican restaurant and store. We weren't officially dating yet...Daniel was a gem the whole day.

Cake, sunset, a book about a mole who loves cake, then he asked me to be his girlfriend!

Caught in the rain on a Volksmarch, but I got a lovely wildflower bouquet!

Daniel's banana bread is legendary. Also, I've never seen someone so meticulously measure ingredients in my life.

Dogsitting for his sister!

Hiking was by far the highlight of the summer.

The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! It was soooo hot, but soooo fun!

If you know me well, you know the blanket. He didn't even notice it till I pointed it out, then he just started wearing it like I did...

Just a German making homemade salsa!

Denver Aquarium - Daniel should be a caretaker for the rays exhibit.

Volunteer gala at church! Got to dress up together!

We started working through the hard stuff early on. Spectacular hikes certainly helped us get through some tough but good conversations.

Our first double date! Game night with friend of Daniel's and his wife.

Thanksgiving!

Post Thanksgiving Breckenridge day trip! May or may not have bought matching mugs from The Crown.

Maybe Meghan's favorite picture so far?

The Nutcracker! He loved it.

The Denver German Christmas Market with friends! More matching mugs...

Charlotte version of a German Christmas market. Very different experience!

Cheesy pic in front of a cheesy Christmas backdrop

Just when you think another dream couldn't possibly come true...

Wild. Absolutely wild.

Christmas Eve!

Ok...maybe this is Meghan's favorite picture? Fave person, fave place, snuggles, pre-bedtime nap.

Our flight home from Christmas in NC was cancelled, and we were on a timeline with family plans in CO. So, we rented a car, and drove home in two days! It was crazy.

Quick trip to Cali for Daniel's cousin's wedding festivities. A walk on Seal Beach and dreaming about the future...it was so restorative.

Came home to freezing temps and lots of snow. So, obviously, we went on a hike!

Just smiles :-)

More cooking

Went to see Fiddler on the Roof

Cool pic before the show - drank an overpriced cocktail and discussed the theology of inherent sin. It was the stuff dreams are made of.

Another date! Poor Richard in downtown Colorado Springs

Happy Easter - He is risen!

Ended Easter Sunday with Daniel teaching Meghan to play Root, his favorite game!
