four years down, eternity to go. It is crazy to think D & I have already been married for four years--we've basically graduated the high school of marriage! haha. It has been a roller coaster of a ride, but definitely a good one. I was thinking of some highlights and we've pretty much been around the world and back. Literally in traveling, but also moving pretty much every year and in starting up a business. Marriage is definitely no cakewalk--and has been a fine balance all around. Out of all the things I've done consistently, this is probably the most consistent I've worked at something!
It'll be interesting what year five will bring--but here are some highlights...
- Started off marriage driving up the California, Oregon, and Washington coast.
- Took D's parents over to Southeast Asia and had a traditional Chinese Wedding. Then we travelled around to Singapore, Malaysia, and Bali.
- First apartment in downtown SLC (this was a BIG step for D living in the 'city')
- Went to Iceland with our friend Devin
- Decided to start a business, D went to guide training in Washington.
- Moved to Millcreek basement
- I went to Ireland & Scotland with 5 other girls (including 2 sister in law's Co & Jan)
- Decided to name the business Roam, narrowed the focus to bikepacking/human-powered adventure, decided to base operations out of Monticello, launched a crowdfunder
- Had my third and final ankle surgery!
- Moved to Cottonwood Heights with Devin and Tyler as roommates
- Bought a dog--Aldo (Lt. Aldo Raine)
- Left my job at the University of Utah--made the big move to Monticello chasing our dream of owning a human-powered adventure business
- Bought our first house
- Launched Roam in Monticello
- I started working for Monticello City as the Parks & Rec Director (Leslie Knope wannabe)
- Went to England & biking in Wales
- Tons of skiing, biking, and climbing
