Photos
One of the few photos I have of him with a genuine smile!
In my car, right before shopping. I found this shirt for him in maroon on eBay so he could have one without holes!
Our first BIG trip together! This was taken on a frigid beach in Maine.
Selfie time!
Another (slightly less) chilly beach in Maine!
Guess who WASN'T ready for "another" selfie!
Our second anniversary!
Tax refund road trip to Charleston
Our second favorite hobby together - wandering around Target!
A few months after we started dating.
Two of the very most important people in my life torturing each other!
Our first roadtrip to Dillsboro and Sylva, where Ian grew up!
Getting on the ship for our first cruise! I have a major fear of ships and Ian kept me sane - or at least relatively calm.
Ian's beautiful Miata parked outside his parents' house - before it was totalled in June of 2018.
Our ginger piggy, Harvey, celebrating my 20th birthday!
Selfie on the balcony attached to our room on the ship!
The British Virgin Islands. So gorgeous! We got a little chubby with all of the unlimited fattening food and drink...
Take us back!! (But seriously - contribute to our "honeyfund" on Zola!)
Ported in the Bahamas. But look at this unlimited food!!
Our first NC State Fair!! More delicious food. It's our favorite hobby!
Another genuine smile :)
Just off the ship in the Bahamas
Amber and Ian. Two of my favorite people in the whole world!!!
About 25 stories above the sea level, and he's as comfortable and coordinated as ever.
Our first Super Bowl!
Our first Valentine's Day at O'Charley's, a place dear to my heart because of my great-grandmother.
Fancy Buffalo Wild Wings date!
On the location of our first date! Despite being almost July and at least 90 degrees outside, he still ordered hot coffee!
Our first Thanksgiving!
Our first trip to the beach - I love his freckles that appear more prominently in the sun.
New sweatshirt snuggles
Visiting the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas
Our first anniversary - BOGO sushi!
Celebrating our first big decision and purchase together!!
Flying to Maine too early in the morning! Ian's second time flying.
Enjoying another frigid beach in Maine
I hope I'm not blinking in this.
Taking Harvey home after returning from Maine
Engagement photos on Boylan Bridge!
We got here at 6:30 in the morning to ensure some great photos!
Our feet (ignore Ian's flip flops at his request) by Melissa's brick in downtown Raleigh
A gorgeous morning in Raleigh, overlooking the skyline
My first time seeing the ring on my 22nd birthday!
For all the days along the way
