Our Love Story

God's Timing.

Many people may not know our love story and how it all started. Back in college, I quickly had my eyes on Kyle after we met at Olivet. However, he was living in Sand Springs and I was in Stillwater at the time. I would jokingly (not really jokingly) tell Brandi, his sister and one of my closest buds, how attractive he is not thinking anything would come of it. My sorority had a date party in the spring season and there just happened to be an OSU baseball game the same day #blessings. I thought, "This is perfect, i'll invite Kyle to come spend the day watching baseball and then go to the date party." I got the go ahead from Bran and sent Kyle a package in the mail with a baseball reading "I finally got the balls to ask you to a game." Classy, I know. I had never done something like that with anyone else, let alone someone I hardly knew, but I figured i'd go for it. It failed me. I didn't hear back from Kyle and thought I blew any chance with him, ever. Fast forward a few years as we went on a ski trip with our college group after Christmas in 2015, and we really enjoyed dinner by each other! I figured he was just into the pizza in front of him, but we had a great time together. I'll never forget Brandi telling me the last night there Kyle was asking about me! Once we got back, we hit it off and he asked me to be his girlfriend in May of 2016. He told me he found that baseball I sent him, except when he tossed me this one, it said "will you be my girlfriend?" YEAH BABY! Two and half years pass learning how to pursue each other as we pursue the Lord together. We went to LA in December as our Christmas present to each other, and Kyle took full advantage of using Dodger Stadium. We stopped at the right field terrace for pictures with a view that looks like a postcard. Kyle pulled out a baseball and as I read "will you marry me?" he was dropping to one knee to ask. He is the biggest stud, natural leader, servant, and the best at loving me. I sure can't wait to marry him!
