As many of you have figured out by now, I can sometimes have a very self-deprecating sense of humor.  That being said, I would like to tell you that the first time Aaron and I spent time together I was looking and feeling my best, but that just wasn’t the case.  Earlier in the year, I had signed up to work a Christmas event with him and the day of the event, I had forgot that I was going to see him.

*** By the way, when I signed up to work the event with Aaron, I knew this was going to be my chance to get to know him, so I asked my girlfriend (who was engaged) if I could erase her name and put mine next to Aaron’s… she laughed it off and encouraged me to go for it!

 Back to the story, every year, I make it a personal point to decorate a Christmas sweater with ornaments that I find from discount stores and big box stores alike… It really gets me in the Christmas Spirit.  I was especially proud of my sweater that year until I saw Aaron and then became quite nervous because of my overdone outfit.  As you can see from the picture below, I wasn’t too excited that this was our first picture together, ha! After that night, the rest they say is history .

Here is the culprit that made me take a picture with Aaron, my BFF Farah.

Funny Story- When Aaron and I first started dating we got invited to attend an outdoor party for the Derby.  As soon as we got off the bus, the groups hosting the event made everyone have a first dance. Aaron and I were off to a great start until I thought he was going to dip me and he had no clue where I was going.  Needless to say I hit the grass pretty hard.  I quickly perked back up and said “What happened?!” he responded “I can’t read your mind!” and I quipped back “You’re supposed to read my body!” This picture was taken right before the dreaded dance occurred. 

This was snapped in Memphis, TN the night Aaron and I told each other we loved each other before I moved to Philadelphia. 

Fun Fact- Over the years anytime there is a themed party Aaron and I are the first to RSVP… we love them!  These photos are from Halloween, Octoberfest, and Jimmy Buffett.

We are always up for an Adventure in Traveling and have been able to see some great sights like Belize, Mexico, and the Caribbean.    P.S. I think this is one of my favorite pictures of Aaron from Playa Del Carmen. 

One thing that I love the most about Aaron is that he is always game to carryout or start a new tradition.  For example, from early on Aaron’s family always smokes ribs for Thanksgiving.   Not only have we continued that tradition every thanksgiving we’ve shared together, but also now Aaron has added that he doesn’t shave the entire week of Thanksgiving, ha!

And here we are today, enjoying life to its fullest measure and making our love and family our top priority.  

We couldn’t be more excited to share this journey with you and we thank you for all of your well wishes.  This has already been an incredible journey and we can’t wait to take you along for the rest of the ride. 

With Love,

Courtney & Aaron
