This is our first photo taken together! We went to Longwood Gardens with Rachel's parents.

Our first 3 years of our relationship was mostly spent long distance as Rachel was finishing up her undergraduate and graduate degree in Physical Therapy.

Roger spent a lot of time on 476 and 81 coming up to Ithaca to visit Rachel while she was in school. But it was worth it for all the beautiful hikes, wine, and of course Rachel.

Rachel's first time skiing! Roger even learned to ski since he normally likes to snowboard.

Us at Taughannock Falls in the winter.

This was during the COVID lockdown. We both moved back with our parents in the same home town while Roger was working and Rachel was in Zoom University. We spent a LOT of time playing video games.

We still got out for hikes and exploration during this time.

Rachel did a clinical in Saratoga Springs. Roger visited again and we took a weekend trip to the Adirondacks.

The first of many weddings that we went to together.

Our first international trip that we took together. After Rachel finished her boards exam for Physical Therapy, we celebrated with a trip to Mexico!

Roger is a big Steelers fan! He took Rachel to her first NFL game. It was FREEZING!

Rachel is still an Eagles fan at heart so any other chance she gets she will still pick the Eagles.

Another wedding together! This time in Florida!

One of our favorite trips together! We traveled to Copenhagen Denmark for a wedding and we had a lovely time exploring the city, learning the culture and eating ALL the food!

Wedding in Copenhagen!

Wedding in India!

After we went to the wedding in India, we traveled to Phuket, Thailand. Roger brought an engagement ring halfway across the world with him and proposed to me at Kamala Beach in Thailand!

The moment!

Bangkok, Thailand at Wat Arun

Us at the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. We spent the whole day learning about, caring for, feeding, and just watching these amazing animals. Here they put us to work gathering plants for them to eat!

Another wedding in Wisconsin!

More exploration in another city!
