Blake and Kayla went to the same high school, but that is not where this story begins. They developed mutual friends throughout the summer of 2020 and began hanging out. With both of them being in different states due to college there was quite a bit of distance between them. That did not stop them from making numerous trips to see each other whenever they could. It did not matter if they were going on dates, driving around listening to music, or having little picnics, the presence of each other was more than enough for them. When they look back on those first moments of Kayla visiting Mizzou quite frequently, they both knew that this was going to be their person forever. Then the first "I love you's" were exchanged just a few shorts months after. Blake then got an opportunity in Alabama to continue his education which is when they took a leap of faith and moved 13 hours away from home, together. Although being away from family was challenging, they managed to come out of the experience with an even stronger bond. Blake and Kayla bought their first house on March 3rd, which is also the day that she walked in to Blake down on one knee asking her to spend forever with him!
