How We Met

Summer 2016

We met at a Crossfit gym (surprise!). An old WWII aircraft hangar on a Royal Air Force base in England to be more specific. In the middle of a sheep field to be exact. Our first "date" was on our bicycles. We took a ride to a neighboring village to have a pint along the river. We became fast friends and traveled all over Europe together. It was our Labor Day getaway to Cornwall where we decided to turn our awesome friendship into an actual relationship...we'll say "yadda yadda yadda" and spare you the romantic stuff. The decision was likely driven by the fact that we had stayed in a 50 sq ft Shepard's Hut with no electricity or plumbing and still enjoyed each other's company at the end. We thought, yeah, this could be something...and our lodging will only get better as we age. :)

The Proposal

February 17, 2018

On top of a mountain (surprise, again!). We were snowboarding in Keystone, CO for the weekend. We had made it to a peak on the back side of the mountain and Barclay pulled out his GoPro as this was a beautiful spot. Julie didn't suspect anything as this was normal behavior during their many adventures. However, the use of a tri-pod was different but Julie just figured it was another "toy." When Barclay got down on one knee though, Julie was super surprised and super excited. The ride down the mountain and into the lodge to celebrate with other friends on the ski trip was incredible! Good work, Barclay! :)
