Big Sky, Montana

“This was, without question, one of the most unforgettable weeks of our lives. Going into it, Big Sky held a different meaning for each of us—but coming out of it, it’s something we now share in a way we never expected.

Experiencing Big Sky side by side made every moment even more special. We had the rare gift of an entire week together, uninterrupted—no distractions, just us. We honestly can’t remember the last time we had each other’s full, undivided attention like that. It reminded us how important that kind of time is.

One of our favorite memories from the trip was the simplest: sitting in the back of the Suburban, sharing sandwiches from our packed cooler, surrounded by nature, soaking in the stillness, the scenery, and each other’s presence. It wasn’t extravagant—but it was perfect.

We’re deeply grateful to the Big Sky community. Saying ‘thank you’ doesn’t feel like nearly enough. Thank you to Big Sky Bravery, to the generous donors, and to everyone behind the scenes who made this possible. Your kindness gave us more than just a trip—it gave us time. And time, as we’ve come to realize more than ever, is the most valuable gift anyone can give.

More than anything, we hope others get to experience this kind of connection and peace with their loved ones. Everyone deserves a chance to slow down, reconnect, experience the love of the BSB community, and simply be together.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.”
