JULY 2017
We met at a Young Adult Venite (Holy Hour and Social Hour) at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Middleton. That was the first time Nikki met the guy with the purple and white truck. We knew each other for a year and half before we started dating.

Our first date was pumpkin carving at Justin's apartment. Justin was excited he had a carving kit leftover from last year so he could impress Nikki with how prepared he was. He was surprised when Nikki, secretly a pumpkin carving pro, showed up with a drill and her own carving tools. We hit it off and went on our next 4 dates in 7 days!

Nikki got to visit Albuquerque and meet Justin's family for the first time over our first Easter together. She had a great time exploring the sites, hiking the Sandia Mountains, sampling New Mexican food, and hanging out with the family!
