Reid and Kyley met at the University of North Dakota (UND) in Grand Forks when Kyley was a freshman and Reid was a sophomore in college. Reid was the kicker on the football team and studying to become an accountant, and Kyley was a pole vaulter for the track team and studying to become a helicopter pilot (Go Hawks). As student athletes, we saw each other around often, especially at bible study. We were both crushing on one another from afar for a couple months before Reid finally asked Kyley out for ice cream on their first date. After a few weeks of dating, Reid got down on one knee with a ring pop in front of Kyley's dorm room (Squires Hall) and asked her to be his girlfriend. Five years later, at that same location, he swapped the ring pop for an engagement ring.
