We met where all good love stories start - a frat basement! Though life pulled us in different directions, we remained tied by an invisible string. Five years later, we reconnected on the Main Line while Nick was finishing his degree at Villanova and I was working as a high school math teacher in Philadelphia. Over coffee, we found a shared love for the outdoors, skiing, Villanova basketball, and a hatred of each other's favorite baseball team. After a year of long distance between Philadelphia and Boston, filled with road trips and late night calls, we decided to move across the country together to Boulder, Colorado. There, I dove into my dream job as a math teacher at an outdoor experiential learning school (so Boulder!), and Nick started a new software job in Denver. From October to May each year we live for epic weekend skiing adventures together. Finally, at the top of Vail's Avanti lift, with a view of Mt. Holy Cross as the backdrop, Nick popped the question. Miraculously, I said yes! We can't wait to tie the knot in my hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut and officially begin our greatest adventure yet!
