Best. Day. Ever.

In the summer of 2015, Margaret drove cross country from Orlando with her sister, Whitney, along with Whitney's two cats, Obie and Kirby, for an unforgettable trip. Whitney had accepted an internship with the Marriott StreamSide Vacation Club in Vail, CO. It was to last just for the summer, and since Margaret wasn't doing anything, she followed. Little did she know, it would be a spontaneous decision that changed everything. Reid had been working for StreamSide as the Activities Director for several years when the two sisters moved to Vail. And after weeks of unsuccessful job hunting, Whitney helped Margaret score an interview working at the front desk. Admittedly, Margaret had been hardly searching for a job at all, and had been enjoying the beautiful Colorado summer. Since Margaret and Whitney were sharing Margaret's beloved car, Caleb (May he R.I.P.), she often had to drop Whitney off for work. It was during one of these that Reid first saw Margaret from across the parking lot. Reid immediately asked Whitney who was dropping her off, to which she said "Absolutely not, that's my sister." It wasn't until Margaret arrived for her interview that the two got the chance to meet. Reid was manning the front desk when Margaret arrived, and had gone right up to Reid to introduce herself for the interview. Reid had a sweet smile and she obviously turned bright red because of it. Before she went up, Reid yelled from across the lobby, wishing her good luck. Margaret landed the job. Reid drove her home after and the two talked about music and mountains, and laughed a lot. Later that night, Whitney was invited to join some other StreamSiders at The George, and Margaret was nervous. Across the bar, she saw Reid was there, swiping left and right on his Tinder. Margaret thought for sure he wouldn't be interested in her, not that it bothered her, since she was still seeing someone in Orlando. They played pool and became fast friends, who flirted shamelessly with one another.

After spending some time together for a couple of weeks, Reid was driving Margaret to her second job at China Garden and finally asked her to go on a date with him the next day. She accepted, and the next night, Reid picked Margaret up for some dinner and drinks in Vail Village. The two of them walked to Sushi Oka for some hibachi, wine and sake. They spent dinner laughing at their chef and each other. After dinner, neither one wanted to go home, so they decided to keep things extra classy and head to Vandetta's Pizza for a couple of cold PBR tall boys. They wandered around Vail Village, holding hands and Reid took Margaret to the base of Gondola One. It was there they shared their first kiss under the stars in the summer mountain air. Needless to say, it was epic.

They spent an incredible summer together, hiking, rafting, listening to music, and watching The Office. It was a few short months later that they became "Facebook Official". With October fast approaching, Margaret was growing increasingly worried about what to do. She had moved out to Colorado, just for the summer, with Whitney. The plan was always to move back to Florida. However, she knew pretty quickly after seeing those Rockies that it would be difficult to leave it behind. What she was not prepared for was how her and Reid would feel about each other. It became clear that she couldn't leave, and that Reid didn't want her to. So when Mike came to pick Whitney up to drive back to Florida, Margaret stayed behind with Reid and watched them go. A year later, after endless adventures, love, hikes, camping, and unforgettable experiences, they made the decision to move to Arvada. The two bought their first home together, and welcomed their fur baby, Sadie Lane, to their adventure.
