We met as classmates in our Senior year in College. We had a few classes together didn’t think much about it. One class was called science-fiction, it was where we had to read all sorts of books and learn about different realities. One of them happened to be about zombies, and that’s where it all began.

After graduation, Kenton moved back to Nashville Tennessee to work at Opryland. Melinda recieved an internship at Vanderbilt University in Nashville Tennessee as their pastry chef. Things just kind of fell into place, it was as if Nashville was calling us. We were still friends and just hung out but after about three months it just seem natural to start dating.

After about five years of dating we decided to move up to Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin. This was the biggest move either of us have ever made by ourselves. It was scary, exciting, another one of our adventures. We have two dogs and a cat - Melinda likes to rescue animals. In Wisconsin winters are about 6 to 8 months out of the year sometimes. There are winter storms in the middle of April. When they say spring showers they don’t mean snow. The summers and the spring in Wisconsin are beautiful, the fall is magnificent. After six years of dating we decided it was time to start the biggest adventure of all: our lives together and creating a family.

On our five year anniversary we decided to have a relaxing date night. While getting ready Kenton wanted to give me an anniversary gift early. He said “close your eyes” then brought out the gift. It was a Beauty and the Beast musical jewelry box. He put it down in front of me, and said “Open it up”. Inside of the little drawer was a heart shape note that said “Will you marry me” and the ring. I looked up at him and he said “Well, will you marry me?” I screamed, and said of course. See you all in North Carolina
