Our first photo together
This was our first photo together on one of our frequent long walks around Pittsburgh.
Those walks became one of the first rhythms of our relationship and some of our favorite time together.
Salsa from day one
We have been salsa dancing together since day one.
It has always felt like such a joyful part of us: playful, energetic, and something we keep coming back to together.
Our favorite photo pose
This is our favorite pose for photos, and this one was taken at a semi-formal at CMU.
Somehow this pose keeps following us through the years, and we still love it every time.
A hike in Murcia
We went on a hike in his town in Murcia, Spain, and it was one of those days that felt completely us.
We love hiking together, and exploring places side by side has become one of our favorite ways to make memories.
Celebrating my master's graduation
This was us celebrating my master's graduation.
He has been there for so many important milestones in my life, always with encouragement, pride, and love.
Bike rides together
We also love biking together.
It is another one of those simple things that makes us feel happiest: being outside, moving together, and enjoying the day.
New Year's Eve 2025
This was New Year's Eve 2025 and, yes, it is our favorite pose for photos again.
At this point it had become a tradition, and we were very happy to keep it going.
Another semi-formal in the books
Another semi-formal in the books.
These nights have given us so many fun memories and have somehow become perfect excuses to dress up and celebrate life together.
Granada and La Alhambra
We went to Granada, Spain to see La Alhambra.
Traveling together has been one of the greatest gifts of our relationship, and this trip was especially memorable.
Another favorite hike
This was another awesome hike together in Murcia, Spain.
Some of our best memories are tied to beautiful views, long trails, and the chance to just keep talking as we walk.
A New Year's Eve proposal
New Year's Eve brought one of the happiest moments of our lives: a proposal, with paella.
It was joyful, meaningful, and so wonderfully us.
My PhD defense
I defended my PhD thesis with so much love and support from him.
Having him by my side through that season meant everything to me.
His master's defense
He defended his master's thesis.
Getting to cheer each other on through these big milestones has been one of the most special parts of our relationship.
Still our favorite pose
And of course, here we are again celebrating our favorite pose in photos.
From our first picture to this chapter of our lives, we have kept choosing each other, and we cannot wait to celebrate that with everyone we love.
