We met at KFMA Day in 2016. I (Kayla) was working for Tilted Kilt at the time and we were doing a promo for the restaurant. Originally I wasn't supposed to go but the girl who was supposed to be there didn't show up for work so I volunteered! Brandon was also at work when his friend invited him to go, (his friend's wife was my coworker and we got two free tickets), so he said he had a "headache" and left just to go to the concert! I (Kayla) remember the moment I met him still, his friend introduced us and we shook hands. Little did we know those would be the hands that we'd hold for the rest of our lives. After the concert was over I said I "didn't have a ride home", but I just wanted him to drive me. So he did, with my old coworker (who's a dear friend!) and her husband (who is a dear friend as well!) in his little bench seat Toyota Tacoma so I was nice and close to him! After I got out of the car when we got to my house, I found out months later when we started dating he said, "I'd love that girl." A few months after that day I asked Brandon out on Facebook!!
It was the day of our four year anniversary and I had my suspicions of a proposal! I got all prettied up for us to spend the day together. We drove around and decided to stop at Barrio for some good food! We then had come home to relax before we went to the spot of our first date like we do on our anniversary every year. This time though we also had a reservation at a fancy restaurant so I got extra prettied up before we went on our small hike. As we're driving there, an alarm goes off on Brandon's phone for an "eBay auction", so he calls his brother Trevyn to tell him to look at it since he's driving. Now I'm guessing he's not proposing today because if he was then Trevyn would be at Redington to get things together but instead he's home on eBay. I was wrong! We hike down to a little cliff and Brandon had brought binoculars and said they were to spot wildlife. I'm like I have never seen wildlife here what do you mean?! Then he points behind me saying look a bobcat!! So I turn and look, (thinking we're about to be mauled) into the binoculars and there's a sign saying, "Kayla, will you marry me?" I turn around and he's on his knee with a ring! I'd be lying if I said I remember what he said, I was so exhilarated and happy. Then there's Kaylie, Brandon's sister, peeking out behind a bush taking photos. We hike back to his truck, the same one from the day we met and the bed is covered with photos of us through the years with "Just Engaged" written on the back window. Then there's my sister Gabbi, her husband Riley and Trevyn peeking from behind a bush too!! Once we got in the car I called my mom, dad and best friend. We arrived to our fancy dinner and got free champagne once we told them the news! The proposal still gives me butterflies and so does Brandon.
