This was our second date, the day after our first date and our first photo together. We went to watch the sunset at Hogan’s Beach with wine and snacks.

Only dating for a few weeks here. We went on an off road trail in the truck and blasted country music together for the day.

Our first camping trip together traveling through Big Sur. After this trip I realized Justin might be the one for me. We spent a whole week driving, camping and sight seeing without anyone else, without cell service or WiFi and when we were driving home I was thinking, I don’t want this to end. That’s probably a good thing, haha.

ending the trip in a bucket list glamping resort called Treebones resort. If you ever go to Big Sur, stay here! It was amazing!

Pfieffer Beach

Our first outing alone with Owen to Sea World. We met earlier this month and went to the zoo with Joelle and her family for the first time meeting.

Justin’s first time meeting the parents in person almost a year into dating, with the exception of FaceTime calls with family.

Another camping trip to Joshua Tree. We camped in the truck tent and had some of the best star gazing on this trip. We made tailgate chili and again just enjoyed each other this trip.
