Oh, Lover

Meet Tanner.

We met in the 8th grade... but I don't remember.

My only proof is that he signed my little middle school yearbook.

Freshman Year, I had a crush on him, but he never knew.

We were always just friends. Just just friends.

Well, come senior year, we would hang out at my place...

You see, I hosted a calculus study group.

NERD ALERT.

Anyway, he and a few of our other friends would attend 

and do math and feel smart and dumb at the same time

- math does that to you - 

followed by eating and watching a show or movie afterwards.

We've always been goofy...

High School Graduation

 Eventually, Tanner and I went to homecoming together,

then dated,

and then college, 

distance relationship, 

the agony of waiting months to see each other, 

family vacations and finally...

he proposed.

The Night He Proposed!

 

 We both wrapped up getting our degrees... 

his in Mining Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno,

mine in Studio Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

With our degrees in hand

and a job offer waiting for Tanner in New Mexico,

we wed on Mount Rose, near Tahoe,

honeymooned in Montana,

and quickly packed up and caravanned to New Mexico.

Our life is full of newness:

a new marriage

a new home

a new city...

We're blessed to be sure.

House Keys!
