We are getting married!

Kayla met Spencer via a mutual friend, Mike Protega. Spencer and Mike had known each other and been hockey teammates for many years. Spencer & Mike had been playing on the same hockey team since 7th grade and continue to be the dynamic duo on the ice! Kayla had met Mike via a part-time hobby, teaching group fitness classes at a local fitness studio in AZ. After much convincing, Mike finally persuaded Kayla to meet up with him and Amber, his now wife, at a men's league hockey game to watch their 'mad skill' play out on the ice. Spencer was VERY quiet and reserved when they first met, and honestly for many more dates to follow. ;) That being said, hindsight is crystal clear. Kayla, to this day, claims his calm, quiet, gentle, thoughtful, & pensive demeanor hooked her in from day one. It was truly like a match made in heaven, as many of you know, Kayla is the complete opposite--extroverted, outgoing, and VERY VERY chatty, as is the 'Ashley way'. They balanced each other perfectly. He seemed to listen to so intently, and Kayla would come to later find out that he did in fact soak up quite possibly every word. He would listen attentively, comment authentically, and support reliably. And so begins how he captured Kayla's heart. Spencer & Kayla's love story would continue to flourish and grow through nursing school, her first years as a registered nurse, adoption of our very sweet (furry) baby son (Theodore), homeownership, and now, finally marriage.

The moment I set my eyes on you, I knew God answered my prayers. And when you said “I do”, I know God made me to love you. -Unknown
