We lived a mere five houses away from each other for several years before the magic happened. We first met in late 2015 at the community mailbox. We exchanged business cards and pleasantries, but neither one of us followed up with a call. Then, in the summer of 2017, we found ourselves together at the community pool hanging out, having fun, and by November we decided to move in together.

Living happily together in Chico, CA along came an offer we couldn't refuse. We moved to Florida after a great offer from Florida Gulf Coast University and we moved into a brand new house after driving across the country with not one, not two, but three cats (Colleen's mom's cat include) and have been loving it here!

It was Colleen's birthday and Kyle's first trip to Disneyworld. In the midst of Epcot during their evening fireworks display, Kyle wrangled an employee to video his proposal to Colleen with the perfect soundtrack of "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. Unbelievable sights! Indescribable feeling!
