Krysta and Ryan

12/31/2019

Our first date was a four hour hike into a beautiful canyon in Tucson, AZ. We spent the entire year exploring together, even spending our first New Years Eve together in beautiful Iceland. A little over a year after our first date, Ryan took me back to where we had our first date with our new hiking/camping backpacks because we were training for the difficult Havasupai hike two months later. It had snowed the day before our hike and so when we went into the canyon every turn we tried to take was flooded. Ryan finally gave up and found a spot to stop at. I wasn’t sure why we were stopping and I did t want to take my backpack off (only to have to put it back on). So he started unstrapping my backpack and I notice he found the phone tripod I had bought for Iceland. He started recording and shocked me with the sweetest proposal ever. Nine months later we wed in a beautiful and glamorous ceremony in downtown Mesa, Arizona.
