We’re getting married!

Despite what Dan may tell you... Dan and I met with a lot of good luck in the Atomic city in 2013 in Los Alamos New Mexico, where Dan worked as an intern at Los Alamos National Lab and I worked at a local eye clinic. We met in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class in a gym that had just opened up the summer we were both working there. Dan tells me he remembers seeing me step onto the mats in my old blue gi and thinking, “This girl is way out of my league... so i might as well talk to her.” He says he was head over heels for me as I swept him off his feet and onto his head with a firemans throw. That summer we got to know each other while exploring New Mexico. One particularly memorable night, Dan asked me if I wanted to watch the Perseid meteor shower. We drove out to the Valle Caldera, laid in the grass at the edge of the caldera and watched the meteors streak across the sky. That summer eventually came to a close and we went our separate ways. As fate would have it, we reconnected in 2015 and took a spontaneous trip to Big Bend National Park... in August. It was hot! Dan hung his hammock between two trees and we watched the night sky and caught up on the last couple years. Fast forward a few years after a lot of traveling to see each other and we have moved to Alaska, bought a home together, and adopted two little monsters (Taiga and Tundra). Now are headed back to the mountains of Northern New Mexico to get married under the Persied Meteor Shower.
