Growing up in Sitka, we had always known of each other, but it wasn't until our first day of high school cross-country running practice in 2003 that we clicked. Through grueling practices, long ferry rides, and some solid team bonding we created a lasting connection. Over the next few years of high school & college we spent some time together, and some time apart. We always seemed to find each other during summer and winter breaks from school, instantly picking up where we had left off. During the winter of 2010, we reconnected for good during our annual camping trip with our friends at our favorite Forest Service cabin in Sitka. Fast-forwarding a few more years to 2022, we had built our life together (careers, dogs, the highs & lows of life, and countless adventures), and we found ourselves at yet another Forest Service cabin, this time out of the Prince William Sound area. Kevin proposed to Kelsey, and we committed to adventure together forever!
