We met at a mutual friends party after work in 2017. I remember Chris telling me that he brews his own beer and made me laugh all night. We closed that party down with playing our favorite music videos and listening to music into wee hours of the morning. It was a great night! A few days later, we went for a hike together and then Chris brought me to his favorite Mexican restaurant and we really connected at that point.
We were in Steamboat Springs for the weekend and we decided to go mountain biking. We came across this beautiful botanical garden and walked around with our bikes. We stopped for a rest at this bench and Chris was shuffling through his backpack and I started to wonder... I looked over and next thing I know he is holding a wooden box with a beautiful sapphire ring inside and I said "OMG" and he stared at me and couldn't speak. I said well, are you going to ask me? He finally asked and of course I accepted and couldn't stop smiling.
