~ Brett’s Perspective ~ On a random January night we found ourselves sitting next to each other while spending time with some mutual friends at Eight Row Flint, a Houston favorite spot. What I knew and Kayla didn’t was that I had been anxious to meet her for a long time. I had seen her at church and been able to talk with her a time or two, but never about anything memorable enough to get Kayla’s attention. A phone call the following day was memorable and direct enough that Kayla gave me a chance at a date. Despite dinner at an entirely empty restaurant, more dates followed! We shared a year of getting to know each other, laughing a lot, traveling, sharing books, learning to appreciate coffee, and of course walking our favorite pup Johnny. All of this led us to...
~ Kayla's perspective ~ A few carefully threaded lies from Brett in the form of an "early family birthday dinner" and a "text from the realtor about ruined floors" brought us over to the house Brett was in the process of buying. Our realtor was even there and urged us to head inside to check it out. Amidst the construction, we walked upstairs to my favorite songs playing, lights strung everywhere, candles, champagne, and the best part - Brett down on one knee! After I asked "what is happening" about a thousand times, Brett hoped I would know when he got down on one knee and popped the question. I said YES as fast as possible and we then shared a few magical moments before I was led to a party to celebrate with all my favorite people in the world. There could not have been a more perfect day! We can't wait for our next chapter as we become The Roberts on October 18th!
