Forgive me for the large number of photos - I had too many favorites, so I split the post into two for the sake of loading times.
Here's the second post.
Since this blog is meant to be my digital scrapbook, I wanted to take this chance to highlight some of the best moments of our first five(!) years together.
Year One {2007-2008}...
There was this geeky guy...
who climbed walls with his roommates! {believe it or not - this was not a one-time occurance}
He met this girl - and asked her out - twice.
They watched The Matrix. {Image courtesy of google images}
And went biking in Chicago

and saw "the Bean"...
He took her to dinners
and to the zoo
He put weird hats on his head and tried to act tough. {This is still one of my favorite photos!}
But she saw right through to his sensitive side {ooh - look a butterfly - let's take a picture!}
They got along pretty great.
They went to concerts together, and he met her brother... {Linkin Park 2007}
He taught tried to teach her how to waterski {for about 5 seconds}.
And then showed off his mad skills on a wakeboard {pretending to be really cool}.
They got tired and decided to sit in a tube and relax. {all on the Cedar River, near the in-laws' cabin}.
They hung out with family :) {sorry for the blurriness, but I like this photo!}
And went on road trips {Madison, WI}
Year Two {2008-2009}
His whole family came to Chicago to meet her family, and hang out in the city.
She taught him how to make Greek cookies {my favorite, but he HATES them}.
They practiced their artistic skills and made snowmen.
So apparently, not much else happened this year - as I don't seem to have many other photos -oops! However, if I were to summarize the year, this is probably it: Just before our 2-year anniversary - Travis proposed, and I said yes. {I know the photo says 2010-but that's when we took the photo, not when we got engaged. Yes, it took us a whole year to take "engagement photos."}
Year Three {2009-2010}
We went to the Iowa State Fair, and I had my first encounter with a cow.
We found a piece of the Wartburg Castle {the origin of our undergraduate school} that traveled all the way from Germany to sit in a wall at the University of Chicago.
With some help, I cut down my first-ever real Christmas Tree!
[And again there is a gap in my pictures - although this can be explained by the fact that for 6 weeks straight I was at graduate school interviews and we spent the rest of the time debating where we wanted to go to school for the next 5+ years, so taking pictures was pretty far down on the list.]
