Purdue football tailgate in 2022! We love going to tailgates but Thomas taught Julia quickly that this will be a Purdue basketball house at heart.

Chicago became home for each of us in 2022. This was from a trip to the Field Museum!

Us at Tim's wedding in 2023 were we welcomed Pavni into the Schwieterman family! Now it's our turn!

A house divided! Thomas and Julia both started MBAs last year: Thomas at UChicago (Booth) and Julia at Northwestern (Kellogg).

We spent summer 2025 in Seattle and spent nearly every weekend hiking. This one was the 20-mile Enchantments thru-hike (yes, we climbed that pass behind us)!

We got engaged in May 2025, easily the best day of our lives. It also happened to be the day Crystal Palace won the FA Cup, which Thomas swears was fate.

Thomas surprised Julia with a birthday trip to New York, and right before sunset, he got down on one knee. She said yes!
