It all started in Winter of 2020 when Michaela saw a cute guy on Hinge who seemed to share the same love of travel and adventure. She reached out to him and the adventure began! Photo taken during closing day at Park City Mountain Resort in 2021.

We spent the early days of our relationship hiking around the Wasatch.

Mountain biking after work and on the weekends.

And skiing whenever we had the chance!

Along the way, we've been lucky to celebrate friends and family members.

It didn't take long for Colton to convert Michaela to a Buckeye! Colton started work with his family's business and Michaela joined him in Columbus, OH shortly thereafter. Ohio State vs. Notre Dame weekend with Michaela's dad, Shane (Notre Dame alumnus).

In true Colton fashion, he planned an epic proposal at the top of one of Michaela's favorite ski tours. She said yes!

Since the engagement, we've kept ourselves busy with a home remodel, wedding planning, and spending time with friends and family!
