Kimberly moved to Denver in April 2021 for new frontiers after a second Covid lock down and 15 years in San Francisco. She knew in her first few days that the Mountains were going to be home for a while.
Soon after, she jumped back on the dating apps and started talking to Brian. He had lived in Denver for 12 years and 2021 felt like it was going to be his year. They met for their first date on a Thursday & that weekend Kimberly went on a road trip to Western Colorado. As always, the 70 highway was full of traffic & accidents on her ride home. Brian checked in our her and kept her company on the phone while she sat in 3+ hour traffic. By then she knew he was a good one (& they shared A LOT in common)!
Their relationship grew that Summer with delightful dinners & bday celebrations (1st photo ever captured here) and Brian meeting Kimberly's family when they were in town for Mom's 70th. Brian taught her niece Julia how to play Atari <3 and hung out with the Petska's ALL day...their love blossomed that weekend to a whole new level.
They continued to share their love for one another and travel with adventures to 5 countries, 7+ music festivals, 10+ ski resorts and multiple mountain road trips. Their favorite times together are blasting country & 90s hip hop playlists and tackling a hike, new mountain town and some good eats at a hidden gem.
Brian proposed on the cliffs of Santorini, Greece in May 2022 and it was a beautiful surprise. When they returned to Denver, they've enjoyed renovating their house in Sloans Lake and preparing for their family years ahead in parallel to wedding planning.
