Year Two
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
2012 to 2013
Our freshman year of college was also our first year of long distance. We would talk on Skype every night, but it was hard to make the transition to a different kind of relationship. Luckily, we got to see each other face-to-face when Marcie flew home over her winter and summer breaks. This year’s highlight came when Marcie’s family invited me on their road trip to Yellowstone National Park. We saw bison, black bears, and the elusive American rhinoceros (pictured above). If you would like to donate to the National Park Foundation, please consider donating to our honeymoon fund instead.

I act very calm and casual when a stranger thrusts an itty-bitty teensy-tiny little doggy into my arms on the streets of Chicago.
August 2012: we had so much fun at Bonnaroo
December 2012: after four months of long distance, we reunite for winter break

We prepare to brave the Minnesota winter.

We audition to be added to Mt. Rushmore.
A delicious and wholesome meal that Marcie cooked for us. Can you guess the ingredients?
