Katie had injured herself earlier that season and was on workman's comp. It turns out there is no work as a ski instructor in the summer, so Katie was sent to Base Area Services to dead-head flowers( she couldn’t do anything else). That is when Garrett spotted her, while leaf blowing, this beautiful Greek goddess dead- heading. He knew at that moment that they were meant to be together. He just could not make his move until after she was out of the Base Area. Then come Halloween he made his move and joined her out on the town. The rest is history!

After finally convincing Garrett that they needed a beach vacation (a warm beach), they headed down to Mazatlan for some R&R. On their second day they decided to head down beach to look for dinner and then walk along the beach at sunset (a common thing to do in Mexico). They ended up not being able to find dinner, and running through the waves at high tide. Their quiet evening turned into an adventure. When they finally made it back to their hotel at sunset. Garrett found a quiet place on the beach got down on one knee and asked Katie the one question she never expected on this trip! Katie was shocked!! She knew what she wanted to say but could not get out a word. Of course, Yes!
