Cooper, Ali's beloved Sheltie, has added joy and companionship to our lives. We eventually

decided it was time for Cooper's first sleepover in Georgetown, and the two of us spent weeks

meticulously selecting the perfect grass spots for him. To our surprise, Cooper turned out to be a city dog at heart, embracing his visits to Georgetown with enthusiasm.

Ali’s love for adventure led us to our first real vacation together—Mykonos, Greece, followed by two nights in Paris, France. Ali's meticulous planning was evident in a 10-tab Google doc containing various potential itineraries. In Greece, we basked in the sun by the pool, explored the picturesque streets of Mykonos, and embarked on boat adventures. We dined at delightful restaurants, stumbled upon hidden cocktail bars, and even found ourselves inadvertently crashing a massive party at a Mykonos beach club. Our Parisian escapade, though short, was equally memorable, filled almost entirely with visits to multiple Louis Vuitton stores.

Our unforgettable trip to Greece marked a significant turning point in our relationship. When we returned, we couldn't bear to spend much time apart, despite the geographical distance between us.
