We first met in elementary school through mutual family friends on a summer vacation to Keystone, CO. During the next 9 years we seemed to circle around each other, attending the same high school, working at the same golf course, and hanging out with the same people. In 2011, our lives finally collided and we went on our first date.

After 7 years, 3 cities, 2 grad school endeavours, 1 dog, homeownership and lots of adventures Jeff decided to propose marriage. With uncharacteristc planning, some help from a few trusted allies, and a little bit of lying Jeff managed to coordinate a surprise proposal and engagement party. We returned to the trail where we first hiked together (with Jeff's mom) almost 7 years ago to the day, and at the edge of a mountain lake she said "yes"! We can not wait to celebrate the life and love we have grown together with all of you!
