We met at the gym and after a morning workout and breakfast we spent our first real date climbing Pikes Peak. It started the foundation for our love with each other and the great outdoors. I've said since that first mountain, "if you ever want to know if you love someone, spend 12 hours on the side of a mountain." Since that day we've climbed a few more Colorado 14ers, snowboarded tens of thousands of vertical feet, rafted quite a few miles of the Arkansas River, rock climbed, and fallen in love under the stars. Our love of adventure in Colorado has helped us recognize our best friends in each other. We are teammates and partners first and support each other with our goals and dreams. We have many years ahead of us and many more adventures on the horizon.
