*Our Beginnings*

Kiel and I met shortly after we both started attending BYU in Sept 2006. We both lived at Branbury and our first Sunday at church I was standing all alone because my roommates were in Arizona at the BYU vs. ASU football game. So there I was trying to strike up conversations with ppl but no one would talk to me! So Kiel, feeling sorry for me, came over and started talking to me. He was so nervous! He wouldn't hardly even make eye contact! I thought that was kinda funny but we had some similarities (we were both majoring in Poli Sci at the time) so we hung out a bit. Our first date was just about a week later and we went to Park City. I had such a fun time!! I came back and told my roommates all about it and mentioned that Kiel was a pretty fine guy. A few days later he stopped by my apt with a horchata! I love horchata and I must have told him. Anyway, I thought that was the cutest thing. A few days after that a group of us went star gazing in the canyons and on the way home Kiel held my hand. It was official. We were dating. The dating part was a little rough for us but I guess it was meant to be because we got engaged June 16, 2007. Kiel took me back to Park City and we walked around and then took the ski lift to the top of the mountain. We were the only ones up there and he got down on a knee and proposed! It was dark when we were riding back down and it was such a pretty view! We got married August 18, 2007 and since then have had a darling little boy, Caleb, born May 11, 2008. Thats our happy little family!
