We first got to know one another on a Labor Day camping trip to Telluride, Colorado. Cole, along with some friends from Oklahoma traveled out for the long weekend. Casady & Trevor (Cole's sister and brother in law) living in Grand Junction at the time, decided to take a chance on inviting work acquaintances to join. Little did we all know that trip would spark a lifelong friendship between all of us. We'd continue an annual trip every summer after that. Friendship turned into a relationship in March of 2018 and we decided to try our best at long distance. We had a year and a half of adventures, trips, memories and mixing friends and family, despite the 600 miles between. Cole asked Chelsey to marry him on a hike in Breckenridge, Colorado the weekend of October 26th, 2019.
