Carolyn and her brother Rob used to get mistaken for fraternal twins as children and have stayed close ever since, sharing a love of goofing around, being outside, and having long philosophical conversations. All jokes aside, watching Rob become a supportive life partner to Katelyne and caring father to Billy and Rowen has been one of Carolyn's favorite life experiences, and being Auntie Carolyn is a dream come true.

Carolyn and Lindsay met while hiking out of the AMC's Lakes of the Clouds hut on Mt. Washington in 2013. It wouldn't be until four years later when they were both living in Colorado that they would build a friendship based on skiing, long life chats, and Cheez-Its. Surviving epic adventures like the 2017 Grand Traverse together and continuing to prioritize skiing together across the distance for the near decade since, Lindsay has handily earned her title as "ski wife."

The Carols meet-cute was in a trailhead parking lot in 2019, and they've been inseparable ever since. Both big fans of exploratory sufferfests in the mountains and skiing bad snow, the Carols are always up to something questionable. Caroline and Andy bonded quickly over their similar sense of humor, love for the outdoors (and for Carolyn). Keep your eyes peeled for their bird app Warbler, hitting phones everywhere sometime soon.
