Kayla and Lawrence first met in 2017 at the "Bay Club" gym in Tualatin where Lawrence works. Kayla had her eyes set on Lawrence for a while. In the mornings, Kayla would walk into the gym and Lawrence would say “good morning.” Kayla knew that the eye contact they would make at the gym meant something, and so she did some digging. By talking to other trainers at the gym, she found out he went to the same high school as her! However, there was no Lawrence in the yearbook. She got the courage to speak to him at the Activities Desk one day, and found out Lawrence also goes by “Zach.” On April 14, 2018 Lawrence asked Kayla out to dinner and an MMA Fight at the Roseland Theater in Portland. Shortly after, Lawrence and Kayla began to discover some of their shared similar interests, and loved getting to know each other hiking, eating lots of burritos, and hanging with each others’ friends and family. On June 29, 2019, while camping at Crater Lake campground, Lawrence and Kayla threw out the “L” word and since then, the rest is history! They bought a house together in Newberg, continue to camp and hike while documenting all their adventures on @larryandlurbsadventures, and love to travel to sunny destinations together like Cabo. Lawrence popped the question April 22, 2023 on their 5 year anniversary, on a bench at Council Crest park overlooking the city of Portland. Kayla and Lawrence are so excited to celebrate their love with you on September 7, 2024!
