We're getting MARRIED!

"You couldn't have come along at a better time." is the very quote we use to describe our relationship... Both Kelly and I grew up in Portland, TX where we attended the same pre-school, middle school and high school. Our interactions were brief, but always full of humor and elation. From Friday night lights to "Follies" talent shows, our shared glances were never ending. It was very much an opportunity that was always there, but never pursued. As we graduated, our mascots evolved from the Wildcats to the Bobcats at Texas State University. Yet again, our encounters were nothing short of timid waves and "Hey! Hope you're doing well." It wasn't until we attained our degrees, acquired broken hearts, and discovered our true selves that we took a leap of faith. In all honesty, we can thank Twitter (and God) . While putting on my boots for one of the last times in Fort Benning, GA, I unintentionally "liked" one of Kelly's pictures from 4 years ago. Little did I know, that seemingly trivial mishap turned into the biggest blessing of my life. Before I knew it, we were sitting in a booth at Chili's in our hometown for our first date. A frequent for both of us to this day. For the first time in my 23 year old life, I just "knew". It was a fruition that was brought to life via El Presidente margs and chips with salsa. "I am going to marry this woman." were the first words I uttered after my parents met Kelly for the first time. I had something to work for. I had something that brought all of my potential to the surface. Having someone love me for everything I am, and most importantly, everything I'm not is the epitome of marriage. We are officially trading in our drumsticks and pom poms for wedding bands that represent our devotion and commitment to one another for life. We have promised we will forever keep our comedic personalities, our faithfulness, and wine nights. The only thing that will change, is her last name. -Cameron
