Here we are on the top of a small mountain in Arkansas, at the end of our first day on a two-week road trip around the Eastern US. We'd been dating a little less than 3 months.

For our first Valentine's, we began a long tradition of cooking ambitious meals together. Here, Bryan hulls strawberries for a dessert in his apartment. This is still our dining room table. And our food processor.
