Our story began in January 2015 at a bar in Boulder, called the Walrus. When Ben walked through the doors, Dina thought to herself, "hey, that's that giant basketball guy... he's pretty cute. Unfortunately, he'll never notice me." Meanwhile, Ben spots Dina out of the corner of his eye and he was too shy to approach her. Several drinks later, Ben worked up the courage to ask for her number... and the rest is history. Many hiking adventures, football games, ice cream dates, road trips, and 1 dog later, here we are. Ben knew she was the one when she agreed to a 3am wakeup to hike the tallest peak in North America. Since then, they've shared their love for hiking, adventuring outdoors, pizza, the buffs, and all things goldendoodle. In September 2018, Ben bought a ring, and got down on one knee on a mountaintop in Boulder.
