Kevin and Celeste first met playing the game Pokemon Go with a group of people. Kevin began to follow Celeste around where ever she was playing at. After a few weeks of playing in a group Kevin and Celeste started texting back and forth getting to know each other better and growing closer as friends. Eventually Kevin and Celeste started hanging out away from playing Pokemon Go. When Kevin and Celeste met there was a instant connection and they just knew they wanted to get to know each other more.
Kevin and Celeste went out with some friend to Rodders bar in Oregon City to play some pool. Kevin and Celeste didn't stay long as Celeste had just started a new job that morning. Also Kevin needed to be to work the next morning at 4:30am. Kevin drove Celeste back to her car that was parked in a parking lot near by. As Kevin dropped Celeste off at her car they shared their first Kiss. 09/18/17 was the day that Kevin and Celeste officially started dating.
Kevin and Celeste took a trip to the beach with friends and family for Kevin's 30th birthday. After going to Tillamook that morning they drove to Lincoln City where every one was suppose to meet them to celebrate Kevin's birthday. Kevin and Celeste went to dinner at the Rusty Truck with Kevin's older sister Brandy. After dinner they decided to go to the beach to find a good spot to have a fire. Kevin, Celeste and Brandy all set up chairs around a fire pit they found already set up on the beach. It was sunset on the beach and Kevin asked Celeste to go for a walk to see if they could find a better spot for a fire since the original one was close to edge where the grass was. As Kevin and Celeste started walking off to find a "new campfire spot" Kevin was so nervous he dropped down on both knees instead of only 1 and held open a ring box. Inside was the most beautiful ring. Kevin told Celeste that about a year ago he had given her a promise ring and told her one day he would replace it with an Engagement ring. Today was that day Kevin asked Celeste to marry him and Celeste said YES!! I will marry you!
Kevin made a few slip ups leading up to the proposal. Kevin had messaged Celeste's dad Richard asking him what time he got off work because he needed to talk to him. Well Celeste's dad messaged her and asked her what Kevin needed to talk to him about. Celeste told her dad she had no idea since she really didn't know. Celeste's dad kept telling Celeste he never heard from Kevin. So Celeste asked Kevin with quick thinking he said it was about asking him about using his car lift for some repairs he needs done on his car. The day Kevin asked Celeste's dad Richard. Celeste had a chiropractor appointment and passed Kevin on her way from work to Mt. Angel where her chiropractor was. Celeste was so upset about a rock flying off a truck and smacking her car that she didn't even realize she passed Kevin that day. Kevin was showing Celeste a picture on his phone and he forgot to close the photo bar at the bottom which had a picture of the engagement ring. Luckily Celeste was so focused on the picture he was showing her that she didn't even notice.
