July 2019: Our first trip up to Bluefin Bay! 2020-early 2021: A blur of pandemic panic and still trying to see each other! Trip to Bluefin Bay, lots of takeout, and tons of movie marathons.

Another trip up to Bluefin Bay! October 16, 2024: And...another cat! Jabroni (Roni) gets adopted. November 2024: Our first time going international together! A trip to Costa Rica (and an eventful 18 hour travel day to get home). February 2025: Our Christmas gift to each other - a trip to New Orleans! June 1, 2025: We're engaged!

At the St. James Hotel! It's a historic hotel in Red Wing celebrating 150 years in business this year. Combining Victorian era charm and modern updates, it felt like a perfect fit for us!
