Mark and I matched on Hinge and pretty quickly connected on our passion for Mexican food and hard cider. On a beautiful Spring day, Mark invited me to grab a cider, which was soon followed by tacos, a foot race, arcade games, then board games. Clearly, nobody wanted the date to end and we agreed there would have to be many more! This photo was taken about a month after our first date on a hike at Table Rock and is our first photo together!

Summer road trip to Colorado and Utah. We remarkably had Delicate Arch all to ourselves this day.

The big moment! Mark had a work conference in Denver this week and we turned it into a fun Winter trip filled with skiing and snowshoeing. Little did I know that Mark had been planning to pop the question in this exact moment and place in Rocky Mountain National Park for months. The frozen-over Emerald Lake was the most magical place to say "yes"!
