This was Date #4. Kelly proved he could hang with the posse pretty quickly.

Date #16 -- Kelly took Nathania out to his favorite spot on the peninsula and Nat proved she could put on a backpack and spend a few nights away from a shower.

Proof of Kelly's own midday naps.

Somewhere around Date #35 -- solstice hike up to Rattlesnake Ridge.

Back to the peninsula with friends this time...around Date #42

Date #64 -- 0/30 miles, everything is good.

Date #64 -- 9/30 miles -- Nat's feet hate her. Still all good.

Date #64 -- ~14/30 miles. It's all fun and games until a wave soaks someone's shoes. Blistered, but still good.

Date #64 -- ~17/30 miles. Nat's feet MORE blistered AND recently soaked by a wave AND still all good. Kelly VERY VERY VERY surprised and pleased.

Date #64 -- mile ~18/30. Minutes before Nat (still with soaked & blistered feet) realizes she has to descend 60ft + with a horrible rope AND a fear of heights. Kelly trying to pretend it's OK.

Date #64 -- Mile 30/30. Nat made it down the rope. Kelly made dinner & set up the tent that night (he offered!). We were still smiling at the end. Both realized we had Something Good here.

Date It doesn't Matter -- this is the real deal. Kelly was jet lagged from Singapore, heading out to Victoria BC the next morning, helping Nathania with her clogged toilet till after midnight.

Date #79 -- Look at us smiling innocently at the start of our first "real" vacation together. In less than 5 hours on Maui Nat will have 5 stitches in her heel.

Date #79 -- Only a few hours later. Kelly passed the litmus test for calming urgent care/bedside manner. A year+ later Nat regrets not letting the nurse & K convince her to take a pic before stitches.

More proof of Kelly's midday napping skills.

Indoor skydiving. The hope is we'll look this great on either/both of our wedding days.

Look at us all shiny and clean before pouring our first concrete floor! Little did either of them know how many surprises the day had in store: Kelly was as surprised as me that today became THE DAY.

Tired, really dirty, but victorious on completing two major life events: first concrete floor and getting engaged.

This is part of the fun from our "first look" back in 2020.

Racing see Nat's lead racing Kelly to the water that day? (Really, he does win most of the time)

Exchanging vows which we will renew with you all soon!
