Eric and Aiden were coworkers at a lab in Castle Rock, CO. They started off as just that and a few months later in February of 2023, Eric asked Aiden if she wanted to join a rock climbing league with some other friends from work. Even though Aiden was not the biggest fan of heights, she hesitantly agreed. They then started climbing a few times a week and Aiden finally made it to the very top of the wall from the encouragement from Eric!

They started hanging out more outside of work, going on hikes, bike rides, and finding new places to eat. Eric started joining Aiden at church and met Jesus thanks to the love showed from Meadows Church in Castle Rock. Throughout this time, they learned so much about each other and the love they had for other people and life itself. So many things just clicked and they knew from the very beginning this thing was something really special. Before long, they decided to make it official at the end of June in 2023.

They then decided to move to Oregon in October of 2023 for Eric's new job and to explore a new gorgeous state.

Since moving to Oregon, they have been on some amazing hikes, seen some incredible places in the PNW, met some genuine people, and have grown even closer together.

In July of 2024, Eric proposed to Aiden and it was the easiest "yes" she has ever had the honor to say.

They are now so incredibly blessed and thankful for the relationship forged by God and are looking forward to a lifelong of love, laughs, and cone pictures.
