Christopher

Although we couldn't classify as highschool sweethearts, it was during this time on the 2nd day of the school year (Chris as a big bad senior, Kate as a doe-eyed sophomore) that we first locked eyes.  It was a hilariously intense moment that we both look back on fondly.  We didn't try each other on for at least another year and it was hit and miss until we parted ways.  Speed up the clock approximately 8 years later after college, various relationships, the sprouting of careers, and learning our life places in general (as early-mid twenty somethings typically set off to do), and we ran into each other again. From there, our relationship took off immediately!  We were grown up, humbled, and in entirely different places and mentalities.  We both quickly found that we shared mutual love for dogs, activities, working hard and playing harder.  We also realized that we have similar sarcasm, humor, and bold personalities.  Celebrating our differences also adds to our dynamic;  a project manager/estimator for the family contruction company (Chris) and a makeup artist/aestitician at a resort spa (Kate) make for two mutually exclusive mindsets that work beautifully together.  The planner and the creator!  That's how we like to think of ourselves anyway :) After 3 years of getting to know, and better yet, understand each other, Chris proposed on our 3 year anniversary!  We cannot WAIT to promise and dedicate the rest of our lives to each other--to experience unparalled joy, humor, trials, tribulations....and then more humor and joy!  The promise that we will put each other first--to be each other's favorite, most trusted, and most treasured person--makes us both the happiest we have ever been.
