Hikes to mountain lakes are a core part of our summers and weekends.
Sam's dirt bike skills translate well to mountain biking. Makenna tries to keep up on the downhill.
Sam, Mak, and the Junes took a Northern California road trip in 2024, visiting the redwoods, Mt. Shasta, and checking off one of Mak's "30 for 30" 30k trail runs.
We love the beautiful larch of Montana in the fall!
Makenna surprised Sam with tickets to a Packers game at Lambeau Field. Her football knowledge is rudimentary, but her appreciation for the populist ownership model stands. Go Pack Go!
Sometimes we luck out with bluebird winter sled days.
When Sam met Makenna's family in Billings, we made good use of our proximity to the Beartooths.
Hydrate or dydrate.
When chasing love, Sam forgets about his fear of heights.
The engagement ring covered some miles on day 1.
Makenna's suggestion for an Eastern MT vacation yielded a winning, wide-open-spaces review from Sam. #Makoshika #rattlers #nomans
Birthdays best spent near the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
Sam popped the big question after a GTS bike ride in Glacier.
Sam loves pow turns. Makenna loves lunch breaks.
Our first kiss was at Heart Lake. Or was it Junie and Sam's love at first smooch?
Our first and last pottery class.
Lucky us!
Sam comes to Makenna's many concerts and doesn't even complain! ;)
When we first started dating, the Helena symphony masquerade concert was the weekend we really hit it off.
