Over the course of many months and a few run-ins at election and birthday parties, we finally caught each other's eye. So, when Nicole walked into our friend's tiki party in an oversized tropical shirt, she made a beeline for the handsome guy in the kitchen to officially introduce herself. After hours of chatting, dancing, and of course, sharing some snacks, we were smitten. Five years later, we've hiked hundreds of miles, traveled thousands, and our lifetime of adventure together has only just begun.
