Melody and I have had a pretty crazy transition between our three years together. It started off with an internship at Air Products in Los Angeles, which turned into a two year long distance relationship.

Our last few days of the trip, weren’t as picture friendly due to long drives to our destinations. We decided to make a detour through Crater Lake National Park, with our main destination being Toketee Falls in Oregon. Well we made it to the falls, and they were just beautiful, with a small section of [...]
