Karyn

We met in January 2007 through a mutual friend at a bar in Tallahassee, Florida called Bullwinkles. Our first date is still undecided, Karyn says it was the first basketball game we went to and then had dinner at Moe's afterward but Kyle says that doesn't count as a date because he didn't pay for dinner. Since the spring of 2007 was Karyn's last semester of college she wasn't looking for anything serious and when she first started spending time with Kyle she told her dad "I don't think it will go anywhere, he's really not my type." Her dad still teases her about that to this day. We both still live in Tallahassee and have finished our undergraduate work and we are both in the process of earning Masters degrees from Florida State University. Kyle's Masters will be in Business and Karyn's will be in Marketing and Communication. We are both FSU employees working with undergraduate students as Academic Advisors. We are passionate about the university and we are avid Seminole fans traveling to many FSU events and attending as many home games as possible. So far we've traveled as far as Colorado and Oklahoma to watch our Noles play! Kyle proposed on August 7th 2010. We enjoy taking semi-spontaneous weekend trips together and had decided to spend a weekend in St. Augustine. After a day at the beach and a bit of shopping we had a nice dinner at the Columbia restaurant and afterward Kyle had hoped that we would be able to go the a lighthouse near by to watch the sunset. Unfortunately the weather did not permit it and instead we went and sat at a bar on the harbor and waited for the rain to stop. When the rain finally let up the weather was perfect, there was a cool breeze and practically no humidity (which is a rare thing in August in Florida). We walked along the harbor and found a seat on the sea wall right in front of the old fort. We sat on the wall talking about our day staring out over the water and listening to steel drums playing at a nearby restaurant. Kyle began telling Karyn how much he loves her and the next thing she knew he was on his knees in front of her with a box in his hand saying "Karyn will you marry me?" According to Kyle, Karyn let out some sort of shriek/squeal and then said "Yes!"
