We met at work! Office romance was our little secret for a while.. Even though we used to work for two different companies they shared the same social activities because hey! who said that accountants don't have fun! haha
Early days.. Marcus and I used to go to watch her sister Chloe to play soccer most Friday nights. This particular photo was taken by Marcus' mum Corinne the first time I was introduced to the family. Little did she know the phone wasn't on silent mode hence Marcus' cheeky smile...
Most of Marcus' family live in Melbourne and we decided to spend last Christmas with them as well as making a little trip to the Great Ocean Road! We had the most amazing time in Melbourne and escaping the heat of Brisbane's summer was a bonus haha.
Besides sharing a passion for dogs we also enjoy feeding the birds and going for hikes. If you do happen to go there just make sure you wear a shirt with sleeves haha
We decided to plan a little trip to Colombia! We went to Panachi and we crossed a canyon by cable car with my parents (No pressure for Marcus hey!) The scenery was absolutely stunning but I am a bit bias so you can ask Marcus for his opinion on this.
We decided to visit this small town close to my city called San Gil. We did white water rafting and this time Marcus was the one who forgot to wear a shirt with sleeves haha.
Cartagena! This was Marcus's favourite city. We enjoyed the food, drinks and of course the beach... This photo was actually taken in a castle called "Castillo San Felipe" This was built by the Spanish during the colonial era. Marcus could just fit when going through the tunnels of this castle as you can probably imagine he was taller than most people.
Exploring Cartagena with Marcus was a lot of fun! We took a photo with this lady because her costume and fruit bowl is very typical from Cartagena. We bought a couple of paintings from this street that resembles the streets of Cartagena that we love.
The next stop on our Colombian trip was Guatape! Guatape is a small town close to Medellin. Guatape has a giant granite rock and it has hundreds of steps to the top. To be more specific it has 762 steps but they view from the top is worth every single step.
Speaking about the View... We decided to stay at a resort close to the rock and this was the view from our hotel room.
Hacienda Napoles! Let's face it. Sadly Colombia's reputation is based on what happened in the past (exactly 25 years ago) and this photo was taken at the entrance of what it was once upon a time Pablo Escobar's farm. It is now a historical museum and a Zoo. We spent an entire day taking selfies with rhinos, zebras and lots of different animals as well as learning more about what that farm used to look like ages ago.
Just taking a selfie with this not so little guy! FYI.. there was a creek between the Rhino and us (for safety reasons of course).
Back in Aussie land! We keep doing what we love the most and that is spending time together whenever we can.
Celebrating a quarter of a century! This Year Marcus and I decided to move to a house because we wanted to get a dog. We celebrated my birthday in the backyard with our friends and family.
Luna's arrival! Finally, the wait was over and we welcomed Luna to our family. She was the cutest little thing and it's true what they say... they grow so fast! Soon after this day she completely stole our hearts!
She did graduate from puppy school.. even though she looks a bit broken in this photo haha #proudparents
To celebrate our two year anniversary, we decided to go to Byron Bay. On the last day, Marcus asked me if I wanted to see the sunrise at the lighthouse. Not being a morning person my answer was No way! But he convinced me and I ended up saying yes. We filmed the sunrise and then we posed for a photo... or at least that is what I thought.... Next thing he is on one knee asking me if I wanted to marry him!!!! I said Yes and the rest is history!
