This photo is from before we started dating and is the first time we had ever spent time together. I still crack up that our first pic together shows Mike looking into his empty wallet.

While we technically were not each other's prom dates (we both committed to friends before we started dating), we spent a lot of the night dancing together and just by chance wore matching colors.

The two of us have been to countless concerts together, including this one where we saw Blink182.

While we were apart during our college years, we always found ways to spend time together, including weekend visits and Skype calls where we'd play online Scrabble.

Mike and I celebrating my cousin Jess's wedding

I ran my first 5k with the support of Mike, who ran a half marathon at the same event. It was so cool to run through Flushing Meadows park in NYC and to cheer Mike on while getting a medal of my own.

While Mike is a huge Mets fan, I've managed to get him to wear Yankees gear on occasion. No photographic proof exists that I've ever worn Mets gear.

I got Mike tickets to Swan Lake at Lincoln Center one year for his birthday. Not sure ballet is our favorite, but we had a great time and loved seeing a show in such an iconic NYC institution.

This is our beloved fur baby, Phoebe, cheering Mike on at one of his races.

This was after Mike ran the NYC marathon in 2024, only a few weeks before he proposed. It's a miracle he was able to stand at that point!
