Jaclyn's tailor agreed to open briefly so she could go pick her dress up

We drove down to Anaheim to get our marriage license in the Honda Center parking lot. This was the only location that we could find that was open!

Morgan had a raging bachelor party

Jaclyn had a raging bachelorette

We got ready for our big day with the help of a few family members

Jaclyn's parents stayed on Facetime for approximately 48 hours

We held our ceremony on the top of a hill with a very high-tech livestream setup, courtesy of Henry

Morgan cried like a baby

We were pronounced husband and wife!

A few days after the wedding, the movers arrived

We sold, donated, and packed up all of our belongings

Said goodbye to Ocean Beach

Handed our keys over and headed to the airport

Arrived in Maui for our first happy hour at our quarantine AirBnB (the host left groceries for us as we weren't allowed to leave)

Stayed in this cute place for a month and half while we quarantined and then searched for a more permanent home

After 2 weeks indoors, we went to the beach for the first time and were greeted by all of these turtles!

Our beloved little Mazda arrived just as we got out of quarantine!

We finally got to get out and explore!

Started looking for own own place and stumbled upon this cute little house for rent!

One of the first things we did was check the Haleakala sunrise off our bucket list (it's 10,000ft. and FREEZING!)

It did not disappoint

After nearly 2 months in our AirBnB, it was finally time to move into our own place! We bought a mattress and rolled in our suitcases.

We celebrated Morgan's August birthday on the historic Road to Hana! It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be there without ANY tourists!

It was a great day and we got this great pic of a waterfall dumping on Jac's head

We bought a couch and our home started to look a little less empty

And then the movers finally showed up with the rest of our stuff

Jac maintained her self-care rituals

Morgan practiced his fishing

Morgan put our machete to use and we started drinking rum out of coconuts

We started witnessing some epic sunsets from our front yard

Baked lots of quarantine bread like the rest of the world

Made some local friends

Morgan's cocktails continued to get better and better

Continued seeing turtles almost every day!

Tourism was closed until October, so we savored every moment we possibly could on the empty beaches

In the fall, Jaclyn got homesick for New England so Morgan found a pumpkin patch

We got some good hikes and waterfall swims in!

We fell in love with the cute little beach town we've been living in

Jaclyn got really into paint-by-number and set up a craft table in the living room

Morgan surprised Jaclyn with a helicopter tour for her birthday and it was awesome

Jac finished her paint-by-number in time for Christmas

Enjoyed a quiet little Christmas with just the two of us

Went to the beach Christmas day and drank giant beers

We rang in the new year like this

Discovered a new beach just down the street

We bought a kayak and kept it in our living room for a few weeks

Became professional snorkelers

Had the best time whale watching out on our new kayak!

Got sick of renting and at the end of May, we closed on our very first house!
