Alycia & Nick | Tradition Lake Engagement
“Adventure is worthwhile in itself” – Amelia Earhart
Those people who cross your path for a reason… Alycia and Nick are two of them. We met in a Facebook group and tried several times to set up a session with them. For one reason or another, it never happened. Finally the time was right and the stars aligned for us. Everything fell perfectly into place and we met up on a rather drizzly day. Thankfully the rain and hail held off until we were able to complete our session.
Tradition Lake is one of those places nearly everyone has driven by, but no one seems to actually know about. With miles and miles of trails, each experience is different as you hike through the trees. Remember those choose your own adventure books? This area is very similar to that. For instance, my husband and children were hiking the area at the same time, yet they ended up in a completely different place than we did. They found a huge tree where the roots seemed to split several feet above the ground, while Alycia, Nick and I found an old bus, toppled on it’s side in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully I’d already arranged a time frame to be back at the parking lot, or one party may have been waiting a really long time.
This is an online love story in more ways than one. Alycia and Nick met online, where Alycia tells me she “invited herself over for dinner”. Jokingly I asked her if she made sure to check how clean the base of the toilet was. Of course, her answer was a resounding “YES”. I never remember where I heard that tip, but I’m sure it was on a radio station at one point. Either way, she kinda picked Nick out and that was that.
Spending time with these two was amazing and full of laughs. The love between them is palpable, and it’s obvious they’re meant to be. I cannot wait to see where their adventures take them. Cheers to you, Alycia & Nick!
