We met at our local climbing gym, Sportrock in Alexandria, VA in September 2015. We had each been climbing for about six months, when we went to a Meetup looking to meet new climbing partners. Little did we know we'd find more than that! We climbed together that night, and as they say... the rest is history.

In early August 2021 Mike planned a weekend getaway in the mountains of West Virginia, complete with a beautiful Airbnb with an amazing view. We arrived in time for sunset, and after enjoying the view from the deck, we decided to play some games. The ring was hidden inside of one of our favorite games (Great Western Trail), so when Jennifer went to set up the game, there it was!
