We have had a whirlwind of a love story that started on May 4th 2023 via a dating app, met in person two weeks later, first said “I love you” June 4th 2023, moved in together October 2023, engaged in the mountains in May 2024! Ethan was driving from Mississippi to move to Buena Vista, CO when we first started talking. We essentially have been inseparable since and have experienced all Colorado has to offer together. We initially talked for hours via text and phone for about two weeks before we finally had our first date in person in Minturn, Colorado, when an afternoon date lasted until after midnight. Ethan would write love letters every day we spent apart. Every time Ethan would come to Aspen for a date night, it would turn into 3-4 date days and onwards until he was nearly a full time Aspen resident. Our first time camping together was less than a month after meeting each other and Ethan joined all of Kelsey's closest friends for a proper roasting. There was a humorous moment when Kelsey learned he took sleeping meds after mistaking him for being dead. Since then every backpacking, hiking, camping, biking, hockey, skiing, pickleball and fishing adventure have been nothing less than entertaining and fulfilling. Ethan learned quickly the dangers of 14ers as well as the excitement of summiting. Kelsey learned quickly about the southern ways…their food, mannerisms, as well as endearing one-liners. Oliver is our fur-child joining along on all the fun (always!) and will follow Ethan around with every move he makes. We are often traveling around Colorado from Aspen to BV to Vail and Denver with many adventures scattered in-between. Together we have found the perfect balance of enjoying each other's company both on the top of mountain peaks, as well as sitting on the couch reading or watching movies, especially true crime. We have found our home in the mountains and cannot wait to start our life together!
