We initially met in a bar in Boulder, just as senior year was starting. We were good friends all through our senior year, but lost touch for a bit after graduation. We reconnected when he dog-sat Kona for me while my parents were in town and ended up coming over that night to play board games. We quickly fell into being good friends again, and we started exploring Denver together. It didn't take us long to realize that maybe dating each other was worth a shot... He proposed a year later! Sko Buffs!
We were up in the mountains at Jack’s aunt and uncle's cabin in Winter Park. The first evening we were up there, we were out on the deck as the sun was going down, and he distracted me by making me look through the telescope. When he finally got me to turn around, he was down on one knee, popped the question and... I forgot my line ("yes") and said instead: "is this a joke." Maybe not the best first reaction, but, not to worry, he still wanted to marry me even after that! We're pretty excited to spend the rest of our lives together, and can't wait to kick it off by celebrating with all of you. See you in California!
