Kyle and I met in college at a bonfire through mutual friends. We talked briefly but ended up going our separate ways. Fate works in mysterious ways and five years later I moved up to Northern Virginia after accepting my new job. I remembered Kyle was from the area and reached out to him through Facebook. We exchanged numbers and planned to meet for drinks. We met at an old, smelly bar in Centreville right by my apartment. I was nervous, but we sat down and started talking. It was easy and being with him just felt right. We reminisced about ODU days, remembered we had the same birthday, had an instant connection and the rest is history!

December 25. My favorite day of the year. Christmas in my family is a big deal so it was even more special that my whole family was there. Christmas morning after everyone finished opening their presents, Kyle said he had one more for me and pointed to the Christmas tree. I looked under the tree, turned around to Kyle on one knee with a beautiful ring. Best present ever. We are so excited to share this next chapter in our lives with you! See you on Friday the 13!! :)
