We do!

We met through Cru, an on-campus ministry at CU Boulder. One thing lead to another which lead to swing dancing, pumpkin patching, football watching, and Sunday brunching. We hiked to the Royal Arch and became official. One kiss in the rain and night hike back and a relationship had begun.

A lot can happen in three years. Goofiness and quirks are discovered. Huge milestones in life are met - a first car is bought, a degree is earned, a doctorate program begins, cats are adopted, certificates and licenses are obtained, jobs are accepted, experiences are had. Through it all, the good and the bad, the stress and tears, the laughter and dancing, the hard conversations and endless nights, the thick and thin, we were there for it all. With unyielding support and unconditional love, two grew closer and lifted one another up.

Planned kidnapping by friends. Dinner on Pearl. A walk to the bookstore. A staged table and roses. A heartfelt letter. Eyes teared up. Down on one knee. Smiles and yeses. A whole life together.
