Enjoy this deep dive into the last six years of Holly and Matthew's relationship. We will update this page as the story continues!
Holly's first Mardi Gras! During the parades, she got pelted with beads and other goodies. We took full advantage of the drive-thru daiquiri shops. Matthew lived in Louisiana until he was 3 years old, so we met up and stayed with some of his old neighbors. They were so welcoming and SO MUCH fun!
Holly and her family/friends threw a surprise 60th birthday for her dad and 26th birthday for Matthew! It was Italy themed so she hired a private chef to cook traditional Italian meals such as spaghetti carbonara and Florentine steak, along with having a wine tasting portion of the night. It was so yummy and actually very comparable to real meals we ate while in Italy this past spring (April 2023).
This year for Renn Faire, we ended up buying last minute tickets (and got the last ones for the day)! Because of this, it was a last minute decision to not get into full outfits. It was supposed to be a little chilly but it ended up being the PERFECT weather. We of course had to get our "Bee Sting" drink again. Renn Faire 2023, we are ready for you!
In October 2022, we decided to head up to Massachusetts to visit some friends from college! It was a whirlwind and we stopped at so many places to see so many people. Although it was a lot of travel time, we enjoyed seeing everyone and getting to make more memories with our loved ones.
