August, 2008Talybont-On-Usk Wales, UK
After months of flirty, far-too-thought-out text messages over touchtone Nokias, Janet and Scott go on their first hiking adventure together. They decide they're kinda into each other after a bike ride that neither would admit was over their heads and a €5 box of charming J.P. Chenet. BUT ONE PROBLEM! A week later, Scott heads back to Boston for his senior year of college while Janet stays in the UK…
September, 2009London, UK
Huzzah! Reunited at last! After a year of trans-Atlantic skyping, texting through peekamo (before iMessage even existed!) and cheeky jaunts over the pond, Scott moves to South London (innit) for a job and Janet gets into a master's program in East London. Janet lives with friends and Scott moves in with his pal Russell. Cue loads of (real life!) date nights, a couple of RyanAir rendez-vous and plenty of adventures in between.

After two and a half years of European galavanting, Janet’s UK working visa ends. But the show must go on! The pair pack their bags, have a blow-out party at Euston Taps and make the fateful move to Washington, DC with one-way tickets in hand. Then, the real party begins: rebuilding their new lives on foreign - yet not so foreign - soil. A few months later, this little critter finds her way to P Street and shacks up with them...

October, 2014Nikko National Park, Japan
DUN DUN DUN… IT HAPPENS! After trekking miles upon miles up to Lake Yunoko in Japan’s Nikko National Park, Scott pops the big Q on a little bridge overlooking the water surrounded by beautiful foliage. They’re so excited, they nearly miss the last bus back to the train station!
