Kevin and I met in May of 2008 at Camp Immokalee at in Open House day. We had know idea of the journey that life would take us on together. The next few months, we became friends, constantly laughing and getting to know each other. On one night in particular, after training, a group of camp staff had a bon fire. We sat around talking and telling stories (the usual camp thing). Kevin and I ended up sitting together and we spent the whole night learning about all of the things we both loved. Talking just the two of us, it was like we were the only two people in the world. We began dating on July 10th, 2008. Over the next 5 and a half years, we were always together. Friends, jobs, and cars came and went, but we remained the constant love in each others lives. On Christmas Eve 2013, I received the best present ever. We had decided to exchange gifts early because we were both so excited to give our gifts. I gave Kevin a Keurig Coffee Maker, that he did tell anyone he wanted, and I thought I was the best girlfriend ever. Kevin then told me that my present was hidden on the Christmas tree. I looked and looked and looked and could not find it. He then said "the monkey is still wearing her tiara." And that is when I saw it on my favorite ornament, the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen. As you can imagine, I squealed with excitement. Kevin looked at me and said "Will you marry me?" I just kissed him and he said "I guess that's a yes." We are so excited to (finally) be getting married! We have chosen to become husband and wife on the same day our love story began, July 10th. What a way to celebrate our 7 years together!
