Really, it all started with a penny. Travis and I met in Colorado while working at the YMCA of the Rockies in the spring/summer of 2018. I worked in food service and he was a crew leader in housekeeping. I saw him come in the dining hall for lunch every day. One day, he walked up and plopped a penny in my hand, which became my nickname for a while;"Penni". Soon after, we went on our first date, and it wasn't long before we began to feel that there was something more. We just 'clicked'. As we continued hanging out and going on adventures in Colorado, I discovered how incredible of a man Travis really is, and fell deeply in love with him. Jennifer and I are a match made in heaven! I did notice her beautiful face around the YMCA right from the start. One day my friend Jack was talking about a girl he thought was cute and was referencing her. However he couldn't remember if her name was Jeni, or Penny. So as a way to introduce myself I asked if her name was Penny and slipped her a penny! How silly. However when I looked at her I had a strange feeling rush over me that I couldn't explain. We used adventure to get to know one another. We went for hikes in the Colorado wilderness, explored a western ghost town, went sunset horseback riding in Santa Fe, and had fires under the star filled skies. Her love for adventure, travel, and most importantly the Lord our God was what made me quickly know that she was the one!
