9/20/23 | Kickball Champions! During the summer we play in a co ed kickball league every Wednesday night. So far we are undefeated!

9/20/23 | For those of you who don't know, CJ and I are co workers and that is how we met! We were dating at this time, but were keeping everything professional, hence opposite sides of the photo!

9/23/23 | Lesson learned to always go along with any 'silly' ideas your mom has! This was from our gorgeous scenic train ride in Leadville, Colorado.

9/23/23 | Leaf peeping on the train in Leadville!

10/2/23 | Red Rocks concert! This was also my first time getting to meet Megan & Brandon <3

10/22/23 | Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park to Lake Haiyaha! I also learned the hard way that CJ is not allowed to eat cauliflower... You can ask him about that story!

10/28/23 | Halloween with friends! We did beer Olympics, had a snowball fight, and walked next door to a pizza place around midnight to finish the night off strong. (This will now be a yearly party!)

11/24/23 | Christmas parade in Salida to light the tree on S mountain! It was freezing cold but it was a great way to get in the holiday spirit. And I'm 90% sure CJ had a flask of whiskey to keep us warm.

12/30/23 | Crested Butte Snowboarding!

1/29/24 | Being co workers has it perks! We traveled back to Jersey for SKO where we were able to extend our trip and visit CJ's family. Only a few work people knew we were dating at this point!

2/25/24 | Hiking again in Rocky Mountain National Park, it looks different this time of year! Bear lake was completely frozen and covered in snow.

3/9/24 | Snowboarding at Breckenridge! This is where we spent most of our time for the '23-'24 season, and it quickly became one of our favorites! You could find CJ jumping off of cliffs, and myself happily going down the groomed black run next to him :)

4/19/24 | The amazing Jamaica trip to celebrate Megan's graduation and Bill's retirement! We all had the best time lounging by the pool, swimming in the ocean, and eating our hearts out!

5/27/24 | White water rafting on the Arkansas river! This past summer CJ and I took on the 'divorce boat' and are still here to tell the story!

6/19/24 | Kickball champions again! As you can tell by the score, we had some fierce competition but we banded together and pulled out the win. The Hawaiian shirts are our jerseys!

7/4/24 | Hiking to the top of Mt. Crested Butte! CJ said it was easy. It was in fact, not easy. And this was the week where we found out I am severely allergic to the outdoors, and my allergy testing proved that true :/ (10/10 don't recommend)

8/10/24 | Breckenridge looks different with no snow! Taking ski lifts in the summer is a joy I found in '24, and I do highly recommend it! (unlike hiking to the top)
