It took a bit of time, a few climbing sessions, and one Olympic costume party before Kevin and Rachel went on their first date in 2014. After a year together in Somerville, work pulled Kevin to New York, while Rachel started graduate school in Cambridge. While a planned long-distance book club failed (they only read one book), Kevin and Rachel continued to see each other at least once a month. After a year apart, Rachel graduated from school and they decided to have an adventure west. Since moving to Denver in 2016, Kevin and Rachel have adopted a dog, Riley, and enjoyed their close proximity to the mountains. One of their favorite activities includes exploring Colorado's many mountain towns in both the summer and winter seasons.
