Dating: We first met in our catholic school days in upstate New York. Having mutual friends we grew up going to a lot of the same events but were always just friends. In 2017, we both moved out to Denver a few months apart. Dave moved out for a job opportunity as the company he worked for had a Denver office and allowed a transfer. Nicole came out for what she thought was going to be a three month travel nursing assignment at the University of Colorado. We started talking again on Nicole's drive out to Denver as she had just found out that the apartment she was supposed to be renting in Denver was a Craigslist scam. She knew Dave was living in Denver and reached out to him to see if he had an extra room or knew anyone that did. He unfortunately did not (we later found out he did but did not want to be "friend-zoned") and Nicole found another place to stay but this got us talking again. We started hanging out almost immediately upon Nicole arriving in Denver and from that point on, were hanging out multiple times a week and talking almost everyday. At first we were just friends but after about 5 months, we were out for St. Patricks Day and a friend yelled at Dave "just kiss her already" and he did, and we've been dating ever since (thanks Katie!!). Engagement: Nicole thought she was going on a regular hike with her nursing besties and all the pups on a random Friday while Dave was at work. When we got to the top of the hike, Dave was waiting there with a ring, he in fact was not at work. Nicole could not have been more surprised and Dave could not have planned a more perfect engagement weekend with her friends and sister. We laugh all the time about how it took us moving across the country before we started dating but we wouldn't have it any other way. We love this beautiful place we get to call home and the amazing people we have met here! We are so excited for this next stage of our lives and are so excited to share our favorite place with you all next August!
