POST-SCHOOL-PRE-JOB CHECKLIST:
✅️ get engaged to my best friend
✅️ spend time with my favorite people
✅️ eat a ton of good food
✅️ laugh/smile an unreasonable amount

This feels more like the ending of a book than a chapter. I feel so much love in my heart for the people that have helped me get to where I am now. I can see now how much the Lord had a hand in bringing me to this point in my life. In the last month I've had many aha! moments where I feel I can see the Lord's miraculous plan.

Can't wait to see what He does next :)

White River National Forest.
A little elevation, a lot of sky, and a sign that’s seen as many stories as it has stickers.

Sometimes the view hits hardest when it’s earned—with effort, altitude, and quiet.

Crossing the Continental Divide at 11,482 feet—with everything I need strapped to two wheels.

Boreas Pass doesn’t just split the flow of water between oceans—it splits the ride into before and after. And after? It’s always worth it.

Lynx Pass: where the wildflowers are tall, the trees stand guard, and your bike carries more stories than gear.

One of those stops that isn’t a destination—just a well-earned pause in the middle of nowhere worth finding.

High-altitude smiles in one of Colorado’s most breathtaking backyards.
Grateful for wide views, winding roads, and the people you share them with.

Faded paint, leaning wood, and a whole lot of sky. Some signs don’t need to be shiny to mean something.

Welcome to Routt National Forest—a quiet reminder that wild places are still out there if you’re willing to wander a little off the path.

This picture describes most of @thestarkweather and I do: laugh and smile, probably about something random :)
