Skyler: We met the first day of Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta remote control ballooning. She came up to me and asked me for help with her "Fire-kite". I helped her get the balloon standing up.

Natasha: Skyler actually friended me on Facebook a few weeks prior to Fiesta, but I think we first met when I was trying to set up my RC balloon without burning down all of the big balloons.

Skyler: I came out to crew for Natasha for a Top Gun competition flight. We got the balloon set up and she launched, only then did I realize that I was going to be in the chase vehicle with her parents for the next hour, my first time meeting them. Thankfully, the chase and the flight went great.

Natasha: I knew there was something special when I met Skyler. Our friends impressed upon each of us that we should give it a serious go. But the moment I remember most was at tailgate the day we met, and removing his sunglasses to see that he was hiding his baby blue eyes.

Skyer: How loving she is.

Natasha: His patience. He's the calm to my storm.

Skyler: Her first US Women's Nationals competition staying at the Pommier Hotel a super un-fancy hotel that we pretended was VERY fancy (pronounced with your best, snooty voice "Poom-yeah" that has since become our voice for all things fancy, think Robin Leach).

Natasha: The first time we went fishing together with Mom and Dad. I did not expect to catch fish, and in fact caught more than pro-fisherman Skyler, but each time I swung the pole around to him yelling "Get it off, get it off!" so as not to harm to fish we weren't intending to keep. Mom's summary at the end of the day was that Skyler was a saint for putting up with me.
