In 2011, Ashley and Tim first crossed paths on the quiet quad of Colby-Sawyer college. Ashley first noticed Tim in one of her classes, and took an interest in him as soon as she set eyes on him. They began spending more and more time together, though their mutual departures from CSC curtailed their early romance. It would be six years before they reconnected, but the spark of their early relationship was not extinguished. After Tim noticed (on Instagram, no less!) Ashley was spending time in Vermont, the two made plans to meet up at the Green Door Pub on Stratton Mountain in December 2017. They went into the evening with the mutual expectations of meeting up with an old college friend, but as soon as Tim stepped out of his truck and the couple saw each other the feelings returned. They met up again the next day, and the rest is history - they now call the green mountains of Vermont home.
