We met through mutual friends at our hometown high school. After a wonderful conversation in the school library about classwork and our after-school lives, we decided we wanted to hangout outside of school as well. Our first date was watching the Super Bowl at Nicole's Oregon City house. We started dating on January 31st, 2014.
During the weekend of January 12th, 2019, we spent the weekend with Nicole's father, Michael, who was visiting from Donnelly, Idaho. During this weekend, Kyle asked Michael if he could marry his daughter, which he gave his approval to after a conversation of our future. The following week, just before our fifth anniversary of dating, Kyle proposed after a night of dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory.
