Our photo of the ring along the hike Ben proposed on!

Kylee was very excited afterwards

The journey begins!

Engagement party organized by the moms... Jewellyn and Katie, thank you!!

PALS park days at Bowie! This is the class where Kylee and Ben met through their friends, Blake and Kellen. We were playing Ninja in this photo.

While out with friends, we found this hat for 00.00 when it should've been 80.00. The Allen's store worker let Ben take it for free. This adventure was the start of it all!

More from that adventurous day.

Can you tell Kylee was excited for her first date with Ben?

First date at Pluckers! Ben didn't even touch his food he was so nervous. We still made it though! Lol.

Kylee was giddy from the start

This photo was from one of our first dates. You could say we found our person to be weird with...

This photo was right after we said our first "I love you." Ben wrote it at the bottom of Kylee's birthday card! For some reason we chose the bald filter to document it... lol.

One of Ben's favorite photos of Kylee from the start.

We took this pic the day Ben left for college. He was a mess leaving everyone, but he was strong! Kylee loves her emotional boy.

Dad met Ben in Rockport for fishing during his freshman year at TAMU Corpus Christi.

Lots of facetime views like this for our first year while Ben was in college and Kylee was finishing her senior year of high school. In that silly hat again that started it all!

Ben came home shortly after leaving for college (Labor Day weekend) so he could help Kylee after getting her wisdom teeth out. He always had a reason to see her :)

Get you a guy that will get his nails done with you!

One of our first fishing adventures! Ben picked it up fast. Kylee and Dad had fun showing him the ropes.

Do you think Ben would kiss Kylee after this?

Lot of lunches like this in the year long distance! Ben would come home from college every 2-3 weeks, and sometimes if he got home early enough on Friday he would bring Kylee lunch at Bowie.

The big smile Kylee fell in love with. This was a common view on facetime for Kylee... multitasking his videogame and his girl.

This is a relic from when Ben was locked in a Corpus dorm with COVID. He wanted some fresh air so he escaped out the window. The goof Kylee loves!

You can see the trust building already...

One of Ben and Kylee's first adventures together... the BAMA game when TAMU won and we rushed the field after!

Here we are on Kyle field!

6 month anniversary at Johnson City Lights! Kylee's perfect night! Booty bump partners forever.

Kylee won this time in mini golf!

On top of the world on top of Enchanted Rock.

We had a great trip to Enchanted Rock with some friends. In this pic, we were Mom and Dad waiting for Ben's best man, Kellen, to come back up from exploring deep in the caves. We were worried.

Ben knows how to make Kylee happy... Christmas date nights!

Ben's favorite spot. Snuggles by the fire!

This was from our "Fancy like Applebee's on a date night..." re-creation. Gotta keep it fun.

Ben always came to visit Kylee while she worked as a Pharmacy Technician at Walgreens. He either met Kylee on her lunch break or would check out at the pharmacy with a soda. Sweetie.

Flores! A Forrest night-out staple.

Ben does lip masks too?!? Can he get any better?

Ben wanted to try on all of Kylee's swim captain gear. He kinda worked it.

Ben's ask for Kylee to prom. Very fitting for her love of pickles. We don't have a photo, but Kylee dressed up as Napoleon Dynamite to ask him -it's one of his favorites!

Prom! Booty bump occasion.

Ben supporting Kylee at graduation. She needed it that night with all the nerves for her speech. He let her practice on him probably at least 200 times those few months leading up to it.

A little bit of foreshadowing from a ring one of Kylee's Seals swimmers made for her!

Our first anniversary together we went back to Pluckers! Kylee got the spiciest "Fire in the Hole" sauce just to prove it to Ben. He can't handle the spice. But he handles Kylee's spice! ;)

Date night in Durango. One of Kylee's favorite photos of them.

Ben won in mini golf this time in... Kylee said it was only because of the altitude from being in Durango. It made the ball move easier... for him.

Kylee's hands-down favorite view ever. On the top of Engineer Mountain in Durango with her man by her side. Her happiest place in the world. They've been back to the mountain 3 times.

Ice-skating date! He knows how to make Kylee happy... just do anything Christmas... even in the Spring! Lol.

Adventures together forever!

Ben went and saw "The Little Mermaid" with Kylee when it came out in Live Action. Kylee grew up loving Princess Ariel as a waterbug/swimmer. He even got 4D tickets. What a boyfriend!!

This photo was from a triple date with all the Dinwiddie sisters and their boyfriends. Fun memory!!

When the enneagram 2 in Kylee offers to sit in the back... Ben happily comes along. Despite not choosing that for himself. Thanks Ben hahaha.

Nap buddies

Ben is always Kylee's big supporter. Even helping her break in her new scrubs. Oh Benjamin.

Ben serenading Kylee during car karaoke. She's a lucky gal.

Camping weekend for Ben's birthday in Hot Springs, Arkansas. If you know him... you know he lives for a good hot spring!

Ben's semi-formal for aggie SUITS.

Ben won this time in mini golf. It was freezing. So Kylee was cold and a loser... not happy lol. Can you tell?

Our first time snowshoeing in Durango!

Kylee's favorite place again... Engineer mountain! This time in snow! We didn't make it up to the top because of fresh powder despite having snowshoes, but we made it just above the tree line!

Kylee's first time snowboarding in Durango. She picked it up quick and was outdoing her teacher (Ben) by the end of the day. We love to compete against each other, and Kylee loves to beat Ben :)

Dancing night with family. Ben does a good job leading. Kylee needs to learn how not to lead. She's got too much rhythm to handle.

A sunday for Kylee and Ben. Getting to take communion together at St. Thomas in College Station.

Ben is always a dummy for Kylee when she needs one for nursing school! Plus... free health exams.

Kylee's first Ash Wednesday service on valentines day!

Kylee always loves it when Ben will join her for a workout. Best lifting buddy ever!

First (trial-run) backpacking trip together! We took all our gear in our backpacks but rented a campsite. More adventures to come!

Kylee's happy place... hiking with Ben

Kylee loves her tree hugger

One of the biggest reasons Kylee loves Ben is that she knows he would be Santa Claus in a heartbeat just so that she could be Mrs. Claus.

Giving Kylee a foot massage while watching the Dodgers. Ben lives a good life. Kylee does too lol.

College fun. Notice the taped box on the wall? This is in-house baseball played with ping pong balls and a plastic bat. Kylee is actually pretty good at hitting despite it being a ping pong ball.

Kylee and Ben like to sneak in to the apartment complex across the street to use their pool. They share their love for water!!

Aggie baseball days. Ben brings kylee and she studies while he enjoys the game. Good times.

Ben making his famous shrimp alfredo, treating Kylee to a night of cooking.

Ben and Kylee's little sister, Dacee, achieved a fist bump while wakesurfing. They were pumped!

Ben ordered his aggie ring, and Kylee made him take this photo! He was a good sport.

Ben and Dacee watching F1 (her fav) when she came to visit College Station for the weekend

Ben and Kylee got to take care of the Dinwiddie puppies for the week. Getting brushed by Ben right now!

Ben finally got to show Kylee around TAMU Corpus Christi where he had his freshman year of school.

Trail runs! Kylee's favorite thing ever! Thank you Ben for running with me! Yay Mara Bara (Forrest puppy)!

Monopoly with Ben, Nick, Dacee, and Kylee. Ben's favorite game... fitting for his major in economics. Let the bargaining begin.

Hiking on our trip in Colorado with Nick (Ben's little brother) and Dacee (Kylee's little sister).

Kylee's favorite view on Engineer mountain... again! She will never get tired of it.

Ben's favorite photo of us

Lake weekend with roommates. Ben's house was just down the street from Kylee's house for their senior year, so the two houses got very close. Lots of dinner and game nights. Good times.

Boat naps for Kylee on her person.

Ben got his Aggie Ring! Kylee made it back just in time from clinical in Waco to accompany him there. Katie, Kylee's mom, ringed him... it is a thing to have a former student present the ring.

We get intense for Aggie football together.

Kylee likes to go watch her QB1 play intramurals. He has got an arm on him. Cutieeee. They made it to the Final Four one semester (out of 100+ competitive teams).

Ben let Kylee buy matching Christmas pajamas and he actually wore them! He still keeps getting better and better!!

Kylee loves her Curious George who loves to figure things out and how they work

Kylee's favorite camping view!

Right before! I could see the box in his pocket... so then he had me pooping my pants. But I did take a picture lol!
