I (Beth) had recently been getting into CrossFit with a coworker, and he asked me to visit his gym where he trained. I hesitantly decided I would give it a shot. Essentially knowing nothing about CrossFit gyms, clearly, because I went to the wrong one…. Or was it the right one? Regardless, that’s where it all began. Through sweat (lots of it), blood (calluses are no joke), and tears too (if you have ever done CF you understand.) Charley and I had been settling into our lovely new life, just us. Jt was ending a long relationship and adjusting to being a dad to sweet Viv. The beginning wasn’t easy, but as cliche as it is to say….it really has made us stronger. Over the years we have blended our families in strength, hope, and love. We have learned to lean on each other through the tough times. Tough times being a light term for “Jts military leave for 8 months during a national pandemic, when we could only communicate by letter via the US postal service” (insert major eye roll). Aside from all that we have learned that having each other is really all we need. With our family and friends too of course. ; ) Currently, we are making as many memories as possible with our girls. We love to travel, do outdoorsy stuff, workout, watch cheer comps, cook, collect plants, and love on our pup, Ollie.
