Once upon a time, in Las Vegas Nevada, there was a boy looking to have a good time and celebrate the 21st year of life for Miss Josie Heinrichs (Akey at the time). During this same time period there was a girl studying at the University of Las Vegas Nevada, also looking forward to the birthday celebration. Needless to say, boy met girl and it all started at the Hard Rock Café, with a fruity drink and some broccoli. The rest of the Vegas trip is basically a blur so don’t ask… Somehow an impression was made, boy and girl stayed in touch and started the story of me and Kylee. The beginning of this story may be contrary to what some of you have been told, as my brother likes to tell everyone I found Kylee at a strip club. The first year was spent long distance with Kylee attending college in Las Vegas while I was studying in Bozeman. After the first year and a half, Kylee was able to move back to Whitefish, Montana and eventually Bozeman, Montana; where we enjoyed many wonderful memories with friends, family and the exciting last couple years of my college career. After graduation in Spring of 2015 I was lucky enough to land a job in Seattle, where we have been living and working ever since. After living in Seattle for about three years and dating for almost five years I was thinking it was about time to take the next step (I like to do my research). Lucky for me, Kylee booked a trip to Italy in November of 2017; so all I had to do was figure out the ring. I was able to do so just in time for the trip. I never let our travel bag out of my sight or off my shoulder for the entire trip. A couple opportunities to pop the question came and passed. We had made the decision to make the trip to Capri on our last day. We were able to find a nice spot all by ourselves down by the water, beautiful Marina Piccola, and I got down on one knee and popped the question. As you all know, SHE SAID YES!!!
