Four Years Ago

by Julie @savvyeats on January 29, 2010

Four years ago today, I went on a walk by the lake with a boy.

Two weeks later, this boy surprised me with an a cappella show in my dorm for Valentine’s Day.

Two and a half years later, this boy took me on a picnic and to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. There, he gave me a ring.

And now, in four months and one day, I will be marrying said boy.  

Happy four year anniversary, Dan!

Some of my other favorite moments from the past four years:

Dan visits me in Minnesota in July 2005.

Dan and his a cappella group sing “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” to me during their spring concert on my 20th birthday, May 2007.

And, if you’re still reading my sappy post, look at what Dan sent me last night for our anniversary. (Please note that the nerdiness is completely fitting as we a) met in chemistry class and b) are both engineers.)
