John & Penny

The morning after we got engaged, we decided to take a walk by the water. The sun was out, the air was crisp, and I was still getting used to the weight of the ring on my finger. He showed up with a bunch of pink tulips — my favorite — and that made me laugh because it was so him, thoughtful in the simplest ways.

We wandered along the rocks, talking about nothing and everything, and I remember pointing at the camera when our friend tried to snap a photo. It wasn’t a big, posed moment — just us, still riding the high of the night before, with a dog sniffing around nearby and the water sparkling behind us. It’s one of those memories that feels small but means everything.
