We actually met at a mutual friend's birthday dinner by chance! We both noticed each other, but neither of us said anything! Kyle tried to talk to Brooke, but her being so oblivious didn't even notice! ...per her usual, she was too busy talking about horses! Not being so easily discouraged, Kyle found Brooke on Instagram and sent her a message! Seeing it a few days later she responded, they started talking, went on their first date the next weekend (Mini-golfing!) and the rest is history! The crazy part is how close they were for so long but never ran across each other! Brooke was in the valley for years at Kidder Creek, but Kyle never went to any camps. When Kyle was living in Redding with friends, Brooke drove past their house almost every day. When Brooke was at Shasta College, Kyle was too! They even parked in the same parking lot! So....thank goodness for mutual friends and their birthdays!
