Our relationship started organically, a few backyard parties and concerts. It blossomed out in the wild, as we quickly shared our love for adventure in the rocky mountains. We spent the following months going to concerts, hiking, and camping. Our love grew to the beat of our own drum and within 6 months of dating we moved in together!
The Shields' have a summer family tradition of hiking to the top of their favorite ski resort, Arapahoe Basin. We finally reached our summit and were completely mesmerized by the view when Joe dropped down to one knee. I screamed, jumped for joy, and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
