In the summer of 2009 the Homeschooling crew of Raytown-South KC played Rolfball every day. Sean and Julia met on the week of Julia's 15th birthday. And honestly from the beginning... She was smitten. Nearly every evening they spent talking on the tennis courts at Kenegy Park, and by the end of the summer they were together.
After traveling for two years for work, Sean planned a trip to Kauai, Hawaii to thank me for all of the time spent away from home. We spent time hiking, biking, and making up for all of the lost time over the year. On the second to last day he took me on a narrow hike up the Airplane Trail. You should google this... It's scary and beautiful. Once we reached the end of the ridge I stood at the end just taking in the ocean and landscape, and when I turned around he was on one knee. I can't explain how right, and brilliant it felt for me to say Yes, Absolutely. You all know and have seen our relationship change and grow over these many years. We are so happy to have waited for our right moment to be together forever.
