We met on Kayla's 21st birthday. She stumbled into Garrett's bar, wearing an old flannel, her original planned outfit was much cuter. Blame the mixed drinks the night before. (Garrett still thought she was cute though!) She ordered a moscow mule, and the rest is history! We kept running into each other at the beach, bars, or around town. We remained friends while we dated other people at different time points of our friendship. We both knew there was something special there, we just didn't think we'd actually get a shot to date! 2 years later, the timing was finally right. Look at us now.
We decided to take a staycation in Julian, CA. Lenny was in need of some mountain air, so we rented a quaint cabin. We had explored the cabin and the grounds, so we were ready for some wine and a fire. While relaxing on the couch, Garrett started to explain there was something important he wanted to discuss. Kayla, at the time thought he was joking. Once Garrett got on one knee, she figured he wasn't. To say she was surprised is an understatement- she was wearing two different socks, and a beanie! We finished the day with a beautiful sunset. Fun fact, we later locked ourselves out of the cabin while in the jacuzzi.
