We're getting married!

Ours is a story of constant nearmisses. We were both born in Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis with millions of inhabitants. Despite the odds, both our families lived only fifteen minutes away. Life took us both in different directions. Kitzia's family moved to Ciudad Juarez, while mine was sent to Boston, MA. Only to be reunited in Monterrey. Our lives in Monterrey would prove to be very intertwined without us knowing it. Both of us attended the same church, studied music at the same music school, and we both indepently decided on an unconventional carreer that would prove challenging for both of us, aerospace engineering. We even lived very close to each other's homes! Life gave us all of these opportunities for us to meet, however we always kept missing one another. But we were always destined to be together, and life would finally allow us to meet. Kitzia made the difficult decision of leaving home to start a new life in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Where she would become part of the HR team in charge of helping international employees arrive to the US. One of such employees was me. We are now very happy to be starting a new chapter of our lives together, as husband and wife.

In early January, Kitzia got ill and needed help. She asked me if I could take her in for a few days and help her through her illness. I was not expecting that those three days together would change our entire lives. We spent the next three days together. I made her breakfast every day, followed by spending our tim watching movies and talking about our lives. She really didn’t look that ill after the first day, but we were having a great time together. It all clicked when I got home from work one day, and she was standing in the kitchen looking at me. She was still on her pajamas, even though it was already past 4:00 pm. She had a faint smile on her face, like she was keeping some sort of secret. I said hi, and she said hi. She then asked, “did you miss me?” It was at that moment that it was all clear for me. I did miss her. I missed spending time together. I missed not having someone to laugh with. I missed making breakfast for her. I missed her. After that moment everything happened very quickly. We couldn’t stay apart. We kept finding excuses to spend time together. We ate lunch together, we went to the store together. Less than a month later, on February 11th, we started dating. Now, a little over a year later, we are excited to become husband & wife.
