My Epic Engagement Story

February 13, 2015 By: Eve Roberts1 Comment

Since it is the month of love, what better story to tell than my own engagement story. Let’s just say it didn’t go quite as planned…

It was a beautiful April morning and Chad decided that we should go rock climbing. I agreed and we set out to conquer the 450′ tall Independence Monument.

There were 4 pitches to climb and we made it to the top fairly easily. Just another fun day rock climbing!

Once we were at the top we enjoyed the views for a few moments before Chad got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was a little shocked and mortified that my hands were covered in chalk dust. I of course said “YES!” and then Chad proceeded to pull out a small bottle of sparkling apple cider from his backpack. We wrote our romantic story in the trail registry book that sits on top of the rock. We celebrated for a few moments and then realized the sun was starting to set so we better get a move on.

Small Town Problems

November 11, 2014 By: Eve Robertscomment

I live in a town of 60,000 people which is not small by any means, but when you are from a huge city and the next largest town is 4 hours away, it can feel like you are trapped in the middle of nowhere. Here are 20 common problems that I face in my semi-small town…

1. When you search for a local group, chapter, class, etc there are never any in your town. You have to drive at least a few hours away if you want to attend.

2. If you want to wear the current trend, you have to shop online. Otherwise it is camo or Carhartt.

3. When you visit a large city you come back home weighing 5 extra pounds from eating at all the awesome restaurants that you don’t have in your town.

4. Traveling via plane is either really expensive, out of the question, or a huge hassle to drive to the nearest city.

5. You can never go out in public without seeing someone you know.

6. Need to see a specialist? That is out of the question.

7. “Coming to a theater near you”… LIES.

My First Columbine Flower

November 6, 2013 By: Eve Robertscomment

I have lived in Colorado for 3 years and saw my first columbine flower this summer. It is the state flower of Colorado and is also known as the Rocky Mountain Columbine. If you are feeling smart you can call it by its real name, aquilegia saximontana. I had to hike to 10,000 feet to see this rare flower. Have you ever seen one?

P.S. It is illegal to pick a columbine flower on public land.
