Making memories

Halfway through our California trip in October 2019 where we were leaving LA to go to San Francisco!

At Levy Park in Houston, our favorite place to go after work with a lovely dog park where Draxie made many friends!

It seemed way too fitting to have Stephen take a picture in front of this mural in Discovery Green Park in Houston, TX! We spent three months there as he helped out a local hospital with the pandemic.

Right before the pandemic started, we had a great group trip to the Renaissance Festival in Tampa, where we dressed up in costume! It was hot and dusty, but we had a blast!

While in Texas, we took a weekend trip to explore Austin and came across this hilarious bar! It was closed at the time but we said it was the most "Texas" place we had found so far!

This picture was taken the day after we got engaged at the Enchant Christmas display at Tropicana field! It felt like the perfect time to take a picture underneath an engagement ring.

This photo was taken right after we FINALLY got to see Hamilton in person! Hamilton is one of our favorite musicals that we always sang in the car, and it was so exciting to get to see it in person!

On our way out to Texas, we had a pit stop in New Orleans overnight. On Sunday, before continuing on to Houston, we had beignets and a quick walk-through of the French Quarter.

We took this picture as we sat in the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco drinking hot cups of green tea as we overlooked the gardens. It is one of our favorite memories!

With an energetic young puppy we spent a lot of time in our backyard letting him blow off some steam!

One weekend in December, we took a long weekend and ended up going to the Chihuly museum in DTSP! Stephen struck this funny pose before taking a nice picture, so of course we're posting this one!

We loved getting to walk around and see the beautiful architecture and landscaping in the tea garden in San Francisco!

Stephen joined me for my 23rd birthday and it is one of the first photos we have together. He always knows how to make me smile!

We are huge Disney fans! Last year we went to our very first Dapper Day at Hollywood Studios and had such an amazing time getting dressed up with our family!

It was love at first sight with this little guy! We adopted our pup Drax the Destroyer in late March and our little family hasn't been the same since!

This is the night we got into California! We were exhausted but wanted to see the pier. We ended up riding the ferris wheel and discovered very quickly that we did not like being up that high!

This was our first Sunday Funday to Universal Studios where we posed on Hagrid's motorbike!

This is after Draxie's first Seminole Heights dog pack walk! We went to our favorite coffee spot, Spaddy's, to celebrate a successful first walk.

We had been dating for around six months at this point and went to Pride in Downtown St. Pete with some of our friends!

This is when Stephen graduated from nursing school in 2018! It's crazy to think about how the time has flown. The week we get married, he will be graduating with his BSN!
