Ryan was working his last fire season with a crew based out of Ellensburg, WA. This just so happened to be where Cheyenne was going to college, working at the campground Ryan would end up staying at and meeting Cheyenne at! She checked him into his site and from that very moment knew she liked him. She told her boss, who had been trying to set her up, that he was the type of man she wanted. Ryan overheard and started coming into the store to see Cheyenne more often. She made the first move and asked Ryan for his phone number, asked him to come meet her and some friends at the pond to hangout, and the rest was history. The two quickly became best friends, inseperadble, and fell in love. Both never believed in love at first sight but its safe to say they made a believers out of eachother that this must be as close as it gets.
