Laura's first trip to San Diego in December 2015 when she met Justin's family. This was taken on the USS Midway.

We first met in fall 2014 through our campus involvement. Here we are with some mutual friends after spending the afternoon sledding. (Pro Tip: If you don't have a sled, use a trash bag instead!)

Another case of mutual interest is what brought us together on this university camping trip in April 2015.

We had just started dating when we went on this group canoe trip in September 2015, although none of our friends knew yet!

In January 2016, we snapped one last nervous photo before Laura left to study abroad in Nicaragua for 3 months.

"Reunited and it feels so good!" Laura made it back from Nicaragua just in time to watch Justin graduate in May 2016.

Halloween 2016. We went as a professional wrapper and a beet boxer. (Yes, this actually happened.)

One of the happy couple's favorite pasttimes together-food! This is one of the many meals Laura and Justin have cooked together over the years.

December 2016, Justin surprised Laura by taking her to the Cincinnati ballet's rendition of the Nutcracker.

This was Easter 2017, in case the bunny ears didn't give it away! This was Justin's first major holiday with Laura's family.

May, 2017, Justin graduated with his masters degree from Xavier!

Justin and Laura reignited their baseball rivalry once again at a Reds vs. Giants game in May 2017. Every time they've gone to a Reds-Giants game, the Reds have won!

Halloween 2017- Elvis and her Hound Dog!

On a Christmas break visit to Justin's family in San Diego, Justin took Laura to get some authentic Mexican tacos, just a few miles from the US-Mexico border.

On the same trip to San Diego, Laura and Justin visited several of the California missions.

Making puns and having fun on the beach in San Diego, January 2018. How's this for a shellfie?

Surprise! We're engaged! We took this picture just after he popped the question in Gatliburg, Tennessee, in the heart of the Smokey Mountains.

Our friends decorated the whole cabin while Justin and Laura were gone!
