Kristen and Brian's love story began in the modern way: through online dating apps. Serendipity struck when they matched on two different apps on the same day. Their profiles instantly revealed a shared love for outdoor adventures, especially in the breathtaking landscapes of California's high Sierras. In less than a month and just on their fifth date, Kristen decided to put Brian's big talk (and skills) to the test. They embarked on a weekend camping trip, climbing a pair of desert peaks. A slight deviation from the planned route led them to a exposed ridge line - Kristen worried if Brian would handle the situation, but her concern vanished when she saw his grin, demonstrating his dedication to persevering through challenges. Weekend after weekend, they answered the call of adventure, driving into the night to camp at trailheads and chase the thrill of the great outdoors. Their shared passion became a cornerstone of their relationship. Their love story reached new heights atop Grand Teton in Wyoming, where Brian proposed, sealing their commitment to a lifetime of shared peaks and valleys. With the arrival of their children, Arlo and Riley, their family grew, but their love remained steadfast, a testament to the enduring power of partnership and adventure.
