spring break, my freshman year: devin bought a ring after i went back to school after my winter break, and when i came home for spring break he couldn't wait any longer--he proposed! (do you see the crazy in all this? my sister is a college freshman and if she got engaged over spring break last month i'd be like NO FREAKING WAY YOU ARE SO YOUNG. but it didn't feel that weird for us; it felt like the natural next step.) most people assumed that engaged at 19 also meant pregnant, but thankfully, those who knew us well knew that wasn't the case :)
the weekend we got engaged.
fall, my sophomore year: i was back and gordon, trying to make the most of my time there. meanwhile, devin was working/saving and bought our little fixer upper (pictured above)! i started looking at schools to transfer to and realized that credits-wise i should do my spring semester sophomore year at a philly school.
he still made time to visit me at gordon,
even though he was working long hours at his job and on our house!
spring, my sophomore year: he began working on the house, and i moved back in with my parents (read: got the top bunk in my youngest sister's room #glamorous). all spring we wedding-planned and worked on the house, and in june we got married!!!
