We met on July 4th - a very fitting date if I may add. I was originally supposed to hang out with one of my friends (Keith, one of our groomsmen) and Kyle ended up being with him as they are childhood friends. We saw each other for the first time at Dicks Sporting Goods because he needed new fishing line. I'm not kidding when I say that's when I knew I was going to be his girlfriend. We spent the rest of the day adventuring finding ourselves hiking (ish) and visiting Holy Land in Waterbury, Ct. I had a blast of course because Kyle owned a Jeep Wrangler and he had taken the top and doors off. It was the first time I had ever been in a Jeep like that (I even sent a video to my mom!). We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings after a long day and I was dropped off at home. The rest is history! Five years later here we are, and we could not love each other more if we tried. Our relationship so far has been packed with adventures and memories I would not trade for the world. I absolutely cannot wait for what the future holds and to make even more memories! I'm ecstatic to be marrying my best friend and the love of my life, as he is too!
