How we met

We met during an EMT class final where we sat across from one another, we found out we were in similar majors and we were even in the same organic chemistry section! We both were taking an EMT course to become volunteer ski patrollers at Big Sky Ski Resort the upcoming winter. A couple weeks later I remembered Ben from the EMT class and asked if he wanted to carpool up to Big Sky together that weekend. The following months we spent almost every weekend together from that point forward. We even became organic chemistry study partners. And the rest, as they say, is history!

The Proposal

After months of working as first responders during the pandemic we planned to big trip to Hawaii to relax and celebrate Ben graduating college! The first day of this trip, Liv had horrible food poisoning and we had a couple very mellow days on the island. Half way through our trip we went to the summit of Haleakalā at sunset. We had gotten there about an hour before sunrise and were goofing around seeing the crater and hiking back down. The summit was extremely crowded and Ben wanted a very picturesque moment alone. Just as the sun started to go down we parked at a pull off. We set up my tripod to record the sunset going down above the clouds. Ben got down on one knee and proposed! We spent the rest of the trip celebrating our engagement!

For all the days along the way
