Introduction
As the sun slowly rose over the mountain peaks of Montana this morning, I found myself drifting back in time. It was exactly one year ago that we stood in the very same place, gathered together on the hill at the music ranch, preparing for our rehearsal dinner. The air was filled with anticipation, laughter, and the quiet sense that something meaningful was about to begin.
Not long after that evening, we moved beneath a rustic pavilion where the first steps of a new chapter were taken—one that would guide our family into a shared journey forward. What began as a simple gathering soon became a memory woven into something much larger: a turning point, marked by love, reflection, and the promise of what comes next.
Looking back now, that moment on the mountain doesn’t feel distant. Instead, it feels present—like it never truly left us.
