Reception

Although we&nbsp;both attended New Haven High School, only 1 grade apart, it wasn't until both of us had graduated that we actually met.&nbsp;We had some mutual friends & followed each other on Twitter which led to adding each other on Snapchat &&nbsp;eventually exchanging phone numbers. After a while of talking about hanging out, we finally made solid plans to just chill &&nbsp;watch a movie together at my house in February of 2014. We'll never forget how we hardly said 5 words to each other... some would call it awkward but it was actually really comfortable. Clearly it wasn't too weird, because we decided to do it again... &&nbsp;again... for months. We weren't always as quiet as the first time though!&nbsp;haha We spent this time getting to know each other better &&nbsp;watching a lot of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. In April, we went on our first date! It was at the Van Del Drive-In Theater in Middlepoint, OH. Somewhere I had expressed my love for a time or two. We saw Brick Mansions &&nbsp;Oculus that night, he bought me popcorn & let me hide in his armpit during the scary parts... what more could a girl ask for? When we got back to my parents' house that night , we decided to make this thing official &&nbsp;I couldn't have been happier to hear him call me his girlfriend.

There were lots of dates after that, but most of my favorite memories were just nights we spent at home with McDonald's watching The Walking Dead. In May, he introduced me to the family that I will soon get to be a part of. It was Erica's bridal shower so I met everyone all at once, it was almost overwhelming but mostly lots of fun!&nbsp;I remember some time after, Tim saying he knew Christian loved me when he actually brought me home.. ha! We also spent some time with my family that summer up at the lake. I'll never forget the first time I got him to call into work (with the help of my sister)&nbsp;to spend an extra day there with me. He almost never missed work until I came along... haha&nbsp;Life is about more than just working! I thought he deserved a little extra time off. Before summer even came to an end, he was practically living at my parents house, we spent all of our time together! We made countless memories &&nbsp;shared a lot of firsts like sushi,&nbsp;

Q + A

Travel

Spend a day immersed in the breathtaking natural beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park. Take in sweeping vistas from the park’s highest summit, see the continental divide, picnic among wildlife, and check out the grand Stanley Hotel—used as a filming location for The Shining.
Meet your guide at downtown Denver’s stately Union Station and hop into a comfortable vehicle for your ride into the foothills. Arrive in Estes Park, a popular summer resort town that’s also the gateway to the national park, and drive by the elegant Stanley Hotel—instantly recognizable to Stephen King fans as the interior filming location for The Shining—before continuing on into the park itself.
Admire the craggy peaks and alpine landscapes of the continental divide—the world’s largest mountain barrier—as you ride up the Trail Ridge road. Sprawling over 415 square miles (1,075 sq km), this protected wilderness is home to 72 peaks over 12,000 feet (3,657 m) and wildlife like elk, moose, black bears, and eagles. In the summer, gaze out over the rugged terrain from the highest summit in the park at 12,183 feet (3,713 m), and find a scenic spot to fuel up over a picnic lunch, enjoying opportunities to walk along nature trails and take photos of the peaks and valleys before heading back to Denver.

Rocky Mountain National Park Full-Day Tour

Leave the city behind, and head west into the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Explore iconic sights on the way, including the Red Rock Amphitheater, Bear Creek Canyon, Lookout Mountain, and the world-famous Coors Brewery.
Board your vehicle and head out of the city towards the magnificent Rocky Mountain foothills. Begin your journey into the west with a stop at Red Rocks Park, a 250 million year-old natural creation, home of a spectacular amphitheater. Built between two 400-foot (121 m) red sandstone formations, the Red Rock Amphitheater provides an ideal setting for performances, combining both natural acoustics and breathtaking views.
Travel through Bear Creek Canyon as you look out for elk, deer, and buffalo. Continue to Bergen Park and make your way to the top of Lookout Mountain to visit the Buffalo Bill Museum &amp; Grave.
Take in the magnificent scenery before you get back on the old Larriot Trail to Golden for a visit of the world-renowned Coors Brewery.
