Photos

Mike was kind enough to accompany me to a company (Dive) Christmas party, and he was my gentleman escort. People were curious to meet the elusive boyfriend they all thought I made up.

I can't even remember what I was talking about, unless we were responding to a comment from the then photographer (coworker, Sarah).

I insisted that we indulge ourselves and go see the only Pittsburgh sports team I like: the Penguins! This was the weekend in 2019 when they played the Columbus Blue Jackets, and won in epic fashion.

"Oh! I didn't see you sitting back there!" "I haven't moved..."

We were reminiscing on how I received the name 'Loretta'.

I made him dinner and he gave me this ring. Seemed like equivalent exchange to me.

Do not lean back too far.

"Tomorrow is Monday." The thought that was in both our heads.

We look too perfect for this photo.

He complained that I had my arm against his throat too hard. As if!

I said something I shouldn't have, and he called me out on it.

"Am I heavy?" "Do you really want me to answer that?"

The moment we were caught gazing into each other's eyes.

Even when we laugh at each other, we laugh with each other.

The pond was like glass and leaves were beautiful shades of fall. And we were enchanted.

Soon, we'll be leaning on each other within the bonds of matrimony.
