1 Year together!

Today is my first year anniversary with Alexei ("Lilo"). This is my first relationship where I actually remember it. Sadly, he is in Illinois on a camping trip while I am in New Mexico, so we won't be able to celebrate it together. For the last eight months we have been having a long distance relationship (I will post about that soon I posted about this here!). In two months he will be joining me in New Mexico, and then moving with me to The Bay Area. We are extremely excited and looking forward to many adventures together.


To look back and celebrate, here is a recollection of our last year's adventures:

A photo of our first trip together. We drove to Ikea and stopped by a wind turbine farm somewhere in Nowhere, IL

During our first climbing/camping trip together in Southern Illinois. We don't have many pictures together, so bear with the cheesy pictures of our shoes.

A photo from the first time he visited me in Santa Fe, NM

Last Christmas in Santa Fe, NM

Being silly with a funny mirrored sculpture

Eating snow on a trip to Las Conchas, NM

Tying shoe laces on a trip to Abiquiu, NM 

Soaking in a hot spring at Las Vegas, NM

A picture that my sister took on christmas eve. We opened our presents and then she went to the restroom. When she got out she found us like this. Apparently we were tired. 

Lilo, I love you, and I hope that next year brings much more happiness, and even better adventures!
