Max and I met at a cycling race in college. It was my first race and I did not know anyone, but this did not deter me from getting in the van full of strangers to drive several hours away to a place I'd never been. We finally arrived late at night and set up tents and started a massive bonfire in an unpaved parking lot at the base of the mountain. Somehow, Max and I began sharing stories and the rest of the group seemed to fade away. We ended up talking late into the night as we watched unruly athletes ride their bikes through the fire. Four years later and we have moved moved to Bellingham, have two dogs, own a home, and still love to camp and ride bikes together. We are so excited to celebrate! We officially got married on Saturday, December 14th here in Bellingham and the party in Sandpoint is simply a celebration. There are photos of the wedding on this website. Thank you all for the unending love and support; see you in Idaho!
