It all started on the Wenatchee River, in Leavenworth, WA. Chandler had moved to Washington for the summer to be a white water river guide. Serendipitously, Alyssa arrived with some friends one morning and was placed into Chandler's boat. As we rode the waves down the river we began to talk and get to know one another. Later that evening, we crossed paths again while camping and the rest is history. We spent the the summer together going on hiking adventures with our dogs, Heidi and Brambles, and exploring the Pacific Northwest. Before Chandler returned back East, we decided to continue our relationship long distance and we have been inseparable ever since.
