How We Met

We actually worked at the same PT clinic, but I started the week after Jeremiah’s last day—classic missed connection. We didn’t meet until months later when our mutual coworker, Vreni, introduced us. I wasn’t interested in dating anyone at the time, but Jeremiah pretty much decided he was obsessed with me. Joking aside, it was very sweet because he kept asking to hang out, even though I kept insisting we should just be friends. For the first few months, we spent a lot of time hiking and camping together.

On one trip, we hiked up a 14er, which was 15 miles round trip. My dog, Aspen, hurt her paw on the way down, and Jeremiah didn’t hesitate to carry her nearly the whole way back. I think that’s when it hit me: he was always doing everything he could to make me feel happy and safe. And that’s all I’d ever wanted. Fast forward through 18 months of long-distance, he moved back to Denver—and in with me. :)

Our Hobbies

We spend almost all our time together (which I know is gross), but he’s my best friend. We love hiking, climbing, playing chess, and doing crosswords before bed. We also have a major sweet tooth and go through random dessert phases—always circling back to red velvet cake.

Favorite Memory

One of my favorite memories is the time I tried to teach Jeremiah how to swim. It physically pains me to admit he’s good at almost everything, and I get way too competitive with him. But swimming is not his thing at all. The lesson was a mess. I took pictures. He was awful. I still laugh about it.

The Proposal

After a series of mild disasters, we finally just decided to go for it. We hiked to Emerald Lake in Estes Park, and he proposed on the frozen lake. Even though I knew it was coming, I (we) still cried.

What's next?

I know there will be more adventures, more laughs, and definitely more freezing hikes I get dragged on. But what I’m really looking forward to is a life with someone who goes grocery shopping with me, pours wine while we do chores, and always kills the spiders. Somehow, I tricked this incredible human into forever, and I couldn’t be happier. :)
