Eric and Ella met in Boulder, Colorado during the summer of 2010. A month later, Eric moved 7 hours away to Telluride, Colorado. They managed to stay in touch and eventually Ella recruited a friend (thanks Annie!) to make the long drive to Telluride for a visit. After that trip, Eric and Ella knew they had something special together.

Over the next year and a half, they fell in love over long Skype calls, epic games of online Battleship, and occasional weekend visits to Boulder, Telluride, and a collection of camping spots along the way.

Eventually, Eric knew it was time to leave his mountain life in Telluride in order to pursue his passion for entrepreneurship and his love for Ella. Around that same time, Ella was graduating from the University of Colorado and making the move to Denver, Colorado to pursue a career in Physical Therapy.

Denver became the obvious destination of choice for Eric.

The transition from seeing each other monthly to seeing each other nearly every day was an easy one. They absolutely loved being around each other. It didn’t matter if they were working late into the night or having fun and adventuring on the weekends, all that mattered was that they did it together.

Eric and Ella now live together near Wash Park in Denver. Eric continues to build his marketing company while Ella continues to excel at school as she studies to become a Physical Therapist. Together, they spend their free time exploring Denver, adventuring through the mountains and traveling to new destinations. Over the last few years they’ve enjoyed trips to New York City, Hawaii, Galway, New York, and the U.P. in Ironwood, Michigan and they can’t wait for many more years of adventures together.
