Haydn and I met at a college party that we were both reluctant to go to at first. Little did we know that it would be one of the best things we'd ever be dragged to. After the party we ran into each other again and I could no longer leave anything to chance. I found Haydn online and messaged her to see if she'd like to go fishing. To say the least I was hooked. - Nate

Sacajawea Peak at sunrise was our first hike together. This spot would end up becoming a very special place to us.

During our first few months of dating I quickly realized that our shared hobbies became more enjoyable when we were doing them together. Whether we were hiking in the snow, fishing in the rain, or failing at an epic cooking recipe I was happiest when spending my time with Nate. - Haydn

Our first backpacking adventure in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Nate's Birthday. 5 days, 65 miles, a few large blisters and somehow after we still liked each other.

Nate graduated college from Montana State University one year before me. As Nate started looking at jobs around the country it led to many conversations about what the future held. We had always supported each other's individual goals but during this time we started creating dreams as a couple. I was thrilled when Nate decided to pursue a job in Bozeman which ultimately led to us moving into our first apartment together. - Haydn

Another sunrise hike to Sacajawea Peak.... This time ending with a PROPOSAL!

After dating for 3 years it became very clear that we had chosen each other as life partners. It wasn't one grand realization but rather all of the little things that you collect throughout a relationship, the things you love, appreciate, and even the ones that drive you crazy. - Nate & Haydn
