Saugatuck Dunes State Park, July 25th, 2020

Amanda & Wade swiped right on Bumble in the midst of the global pandemic. After connecting over art, music, and a shared hope for the future, we went on our first date to Saugatuck Dunes State Park.

We packed some tequila for the trail, in an effort to stay safe and hydrated (alcohol is a disinfectant, after all).

OUR FIRST DATE

AS SUMMER TURNED TO FALL,
we went fishing together
at Wade’s Top-secret spot…

…WATCHED THE SOPRANOS, CARVED PUMPKINS, PaINTED, & spent our first THANKSGIVING TOGETHER cooking up a FEAST.

(Vino the cat even had some turkey!)

FIRST TRIPS:

Our first trek together was a quick weekend up north to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The Cooks’ House tasting menu from that trip remains one of our favorite meals we’ve shared. Amanda spotted tracks outside the Airbnb and thought they were from an elk… but they turned out to be from rabbits simply resting in the snow. 😅

Traverse City:

Freshly vaccinated and eager to travel, we headed for Nashville. We spent our days soaking up the live music scene and treating ourselves to plenty of BBQ, craft beer, tapas, ice cream, and wood-fired pizza.

nashville:

For Amanda’s 30th birthday, we packed our bags for Las Vegas and rented a car so we could explore more than just The Strip. Before long, the trip turned into a bit of a scouting mission as the idea of calling the desert home had us intrigued.

LAS VEGAS: PART I

HEADING WESTWARD

With our hearts set on Las Vegas, Amanda was thankful to have Wade and her parents’ help in listing her house on the market. Their love and support means the world and she couldn’t have done it without them!

Within a few months, we found a place just right for us, though house hunting from across the country wasn’t easy. Leaving Michigan and the people we love was bittersweet, but we looked forward to the sunshine, palm trees, and and a future built side by side. 🌄

LAS VEGAS: PART II

Each day in Las Vegas reminds us of how lucky we are. We’ve fallen in love with the desert hikes and unique plant life, stunning mountain views, hummingbird sightings, and quiet nights by the neighborhood pool. It’s been especially fun to show off the valley to friends and family on their travels, highlighting not just the main attractions, but also the charming hidden gems.

Life here feels grounded in possibility, as each day brings moments to grow and discover things together. 🏜️

November 25th, 2023

On a crisp evening in Zion, as the sun dipped low, Wade proposed by the campfire, and Amanda said “yes!” Moments later, two deer appeared under the moonlight, quietly passing through our campsite.

Marking the beginning of this next adventure in such a beautiful, meaningful place felt like a dream. We’re excited for all that’s to come and are beyond thankful to have shared that milestone surrounded by the quiet magic of Zion National Park.
