How we met

1/30/2016

Laura worked at Georgetown Running store part time and Rob was the new manager. Laura was out on an 18 mile run and stopped into the store for some water before heading home. She saw this very handsome man in the store, she didn't say hi... Rob says she was kind of rude actually. Eventually he introduced himself as the new manager. They exchanged contact information and said he'd reach out if there was snow emergency. Laura and Rob worked together and then eventually began running together in May. They loved running the trails in Georgetown or Rock Creek Park at night. After a few friendly runs they would go out and enjoy a beer after the run, sometimes with friends but then alone and things just progressed from there!

The Proposal

6/24/2018

Rob surprised Laura with a trip to Banff, in Alberta Canada for her birthday. The trip was planned for June 2018. Rob had researched many hikes he wanted to do, some included rock scrambles which Laura did not want to participate in. They were able to agree on going to the iridescent Lake Louise and hike a fairly well travelled route up to the Tea House. Once they got to the Tea House they decided they wanted to continue the hike all the way up to the Bee Hive. Mind you this was in June but because of the elevation there was snow that they had to walk through and some areas were pretty steep, but gorgeous. Once they finally reached the top, they set up to take a few pictures of Lake Louise and The Fairmont. It was super gorgeous, like take your breath away (also because we were very high up and there was not much on either side if we fell). Rob and Laura took a ton of pictures and when the sun came out the moment was just right- Rob dropped to his knee while a tourist took pictures and asked Laura to marry him. The rest is history and begins a new adventure :)
