How We Met

September 12, 2021

We met through Facebook dating. Kaleb swiped first, and we started talking and met in person the same night. We watched a movie and had dinner. Our conversations lasted hours, we clicked immediately. From there on we kept seeing each other andc2 months later we started dating. Now we are getting married 3 years later.

The Proposal

3/27/23

Kaleb's Mom and Siblings came out to Arizona for Spring Break. Little did I know that they were planning all of it. We all decided to go on a hike up to Brown Mountain in Mesa, AZ. We hiked for 1 hour and everyone was determined to get me up the mountain. I knew something was up. We got to the top, I was taken to the other side of the mountain in front of the valley that was all lit up. Nobody was in sight just Kaleb and I. Kaleb started to tell me how much he loved me, he pulled a small box out of his pocket and bent down on one knee in front of the Valley. I immediately said yes. I called everyone on the way down the mountain, which was extremely hard to do but I was so full of excitement and adrenalin.

Strangers and Stairs

October 10, 2021

In October of 2021, I had an accident at the apartment where I met Kaleb. I fell down 13 cement stairs, no broken bones, no fractures, just a sprained blown-out knee and some bruises. Kaleb was the first person I called following 911. I thought I had a broken back or neck but couldn't feel it due to shock. Kaleb came home right away to take me to the hospital to make sure I didn't have internal bleeding. I had to stay with him while I was out of work for 3 months due to my injury. We were still strangers getting to know each other. Kaleb cared for me for those 3-4 months until I could walk independently. He wheeled me in my wheelchair, helped me crawl down the stairs, took me to my appointments, and helped me shower. I was so grateful to meet Kaleb and to have someone take me in. I knew that Kaleb truly loved me and showed he was committed to our relationship. Kaleb didn't just take care of me, we took care of each other and made it work even though I was injured and couldn't take care of myself well.
