We met while working for the YMCA as lifeguards. Interestingly enough, I (Kayelyn) despised Hezekiah for the first year we knew each other. I had already been working for the YMCA for 3 years prior to Hezekiah starting there. Why did I despise him you may ask? Well, because he was put at a higher position than me and I was petty. The first year of our "relationship" was nothing other than an ocassional "go" from Hezekiah when it was my turn to change position while lifeguarding. That following year, I was invited to hangout with a group of friends from work. Little did I know, Hezekiah was also invited to said hangouts. It took about 2 hours (which is insane if you know me) for Hezekiah and I to become good friends. A few months and a multitude of group hangouts later, we started to hangout by ourselves. We were constantly asked if we were "a thing" and our response was always the same: "why can't a girl and a guy hangout without it being romatic?". Little did I know AGAIN, that there was something more to our time spent together. We soon realized that there was indeed "a thing" going on between us. We both found each other during hard situations in our lives, we have been able to watch each other grow, discover what makes us happy, and build upon a foundation for our future. Now, we get to celebrate our story with all of you!
