How this crazy love story started

First came coffee then came marriage

James (Ron) and I first saw each other when I went in for a job interview at a dry cleaners. I got the job that day and soon after I started working with Ron. He was my 'manager' without the title. We became fast friends always talking at work but never exchanged numbers....until one night after work he asked me what my plans were. I said nothing i am going home and he let me know he was going to coffee. I invited myself :) We met at this little coffee shop downtown fort collins, and we spent more then 6 hours talking about anything and everything you could think of. Our cars got towed this night and we had to take a ram-ride home (service our college provides for students). We exchanged numbers this night and still nothing. Well; then he asked me out for coffee again and we dug deep into our past and who we are as people I was 19 and he was 22 at the time. This was the night we decided to give it a shot we both were wary and the rest is history. We have spent the last 4 years getting to know each other and grow. We are currently 23 and 26 years old. These years we have been together we have adopted two dogs (Buddy and Xena) and a cat (Toothless) have been exploring Colorado going on hikes, skiing, dog walks, date nights, and plans to hike a 14'er this summer. He has even taught me how to rock climb. We love adventure and the family we get to experience life together with. We cannot wait to see what the future holds.

For all the days along the way
