We met through our mutual friend Katherine. Tristan was living with her at the time so when I would come over we would talk and hangout. That's when we found out we both love the outdoors, canoeing, camping, hiking, and so much more. We started bouldering together every Thursday and after a day trip to Tulsa for a Scottish fest and Pow Wow I knew he was a keeper!
Our first official date was at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville to see a Bear Hands concert. After we got waffles and talked way too late for a school night but we didn't want the night to end!
We planned a 4 day backpacking trip in the Chicago Basin area near Durango to climb 4 14ers. Unbeknownst to me Tristan had a plan. We woke up early and hiked North Eolus to reach the peak at sunrise. Once we hit the peak Tristan took me to the side and talked about how he wanted to go on adventures with me forever! The next thing I know he is down on one knee asking me to be with him forever and I couldn't say yes fast enough! He made it a day I will never forget. Thank you Tristan you outdid yourself!
We can't wait to start this new chapter! Thank you to all our family and friends who will be celebrating the day with us!
