Always Remembered

Incredibly another year has passed and it is January the 27th again.  It is a day that will always have meaning to us, no matter how we wish it didn't.  Three years ago we lost one of our closest friends, Tyler Palmer, to a tragic ski accident. He meant so much to so many, it is still hard to believe that he is not with us. Tyler introduced me to my wife Christa over thirteen years ago and for that I am forever grateful.  While we will always mourn his loss, we also see this as a day to reflect and check to see if we are living life to the fullest as Tyler did. He would often ask people what they would most like to do with their lives, and after listening to their answer he would then say “Ok, why aren’t you doing that and what is the first step to getting there.” I think we can all live more fulfilling lives if we follow Tyler’s advice. So today, in honor of him go enjoy the outdoors, make a conscious effort to do something that helps our planet, give someone a big heartfelt hug, and take a step toward following your dreams. We love you Tyler.

Love, Brad, Christa & Carly
