We met through our friend TJ. Cam and TJ were both playing for the Shorebirds in the Baltimore Orioles organization. In August 2015, they had a series of games near Charlotte, NC, where I was living at the time after just graduating college. TJ and I went to Winthrop University together and some of our friends all met up at a bar after one of their games. However, Cam had been playing baseball all summer and was soon heading back to Massachusetts. We kept in touch through social media and an occasional text, but decided the distance between us would make a relationship, well, complicated. BUT, when the New Year came around, Cam decided to come visit me in Charlotte! We had an instant connection, had a few dates, and spent multiple weekends together before spring training and decided to make a long distance relationship work! After hundreds of plane rides and road trips, multiple adventures in new cities, and thousands of laughs and memories, Cam popped the question during their trip to Quebec City, Canada almost 5 years later. That being said, we cannot wait for this next chapter of creating our life together...without the distance! :) Cheers to becoming the Kneelands!
