The Beginning

??? Do people actually know the exact date they met ??? 2007

Kendall was still on the family plan, the cell phone plan that is. While away at college she snuck off to the nearest verizon store and updated her phone to a blackberry smartphone sans permission. This resulted in additional charges to her parent's plan. Send the bill to Brent, because that phone was used on a soccer trip for Iowa State where Kendall sent Brent their first text message after riding on a bus together from Iowa to Arizona for a club soccer tournament. Fast forward five years... their first date: Minneapolis, Minnesota, Summer of 2012. Kendall didn't realize it was a date, but when Brent stopped her during their conversation and said "now I don't usually do this, but you have very pretty eyes," she began thinking otherwise. Fast forward 5 years. They're still together. The date went well.

Will You Marry Me?

April 22, 2017 (Earth Day)

This is yet another one of those stories where the female was being stubborn and unwilling to follow along with the plans laid out by the male. Ready. Go! Brent took Kendall out on a ski trail that rarely opens up at Squaw Valley. A trail that people are RACING to get to the end of in order to be first to the best patch of powder. Kendall became one of those people while Brent patiently kept insisting they break off from the race to their own patch of snow. Kendall ignored Brent's wishes, disappointed with his sudden lack of competitive drive. Finally Brent's persistence paid off and at Kendall's highest level of annoyance, he asked her to marry him. While Kendall slowly realized she was a selfish brat and started crying about it, and then realized they were alone in the middle of the mountains on a beautiful day and started crying about it and then realized she was being proposed to and started crying about it, Brent waited. Then, she said yes!
