Our Wedding

Our love began in the small mountain town of Vail Colorado in 2014. Taylor was finishing her last clinical of nursing school, and Dan was a nurse at the hospital. With some encouragement of Taylor's friends we decided to go on our first date; a hike, in the dark, and it was raining. Needless to say it was the perfect first date. We continued to hang out while Taylor finished and graduated from school. From there we continued our relationship with Taylor landing her first job in Colorado Springs and Dan remaining in Vail. We spent lots of time on I-70 over the first two years. After that we decided to take our careers on the road. We travel nursed all over the country from coast to coast, even in our home towns to be close to family. We were fortunate to work in some really great locations and make some life long friends in the process. On July 11th we went for a hike on a sunny afternoon on Tesuque Peak in Santa Fe New Mexico. Surrounded by aspen trees, Dan got on one knee and proposed. Since then we have relocated to Northern Idaho. Taking permanent jobs in Coeur D'Alene and Taylor is following her passion to work in pediatrics in Spokane Washington. We are looking forward to sharing our love with all our friends and family on our special day!
