It all started when we went to Cooperstown, New York to watch our brothers play in a baseball tournament going into our sophomore year of high school (2015). That, however was the first time we had met. We pulled up at the airbnb that they were staying in. Cade at the time was kayaking back to the house with a mutual friend of ours. We introduced ourselves, played games (heads up) with all of our baseball friends/ family, shared lots of laughs, hung out day and night at the baseball fields. From that vacation on we both knew we had some sort of connection with each other! It wasn’t until fall of 2015 we started to spend more time with each other and by October we started dating for the first time. YESS it took a couple times to get it right! We went through some adversities by the end of our sophomore and junior year of high school, which led to a break between us. It wasn’t until our first year of college in 2018, we began to reconnect with each other as a result of having a class together. If you told me then that Cade and I would be where we are now I would have said, “absolutely not!” We kept hanging out, and became literally the best of friends and by this time I knew I wanted to take the chance. So on April 24, 2019, we began our forever story together ! From that day on we have cherished every moment and memory we have together! On Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 2021, we became engaged at my home surrounded by all our family and friends. We were playing the game, “Hearing Things,” and my sister read out to me “Will you marry me,” for me then to look to the side and see Cade on one knee popping the question. Thank you for reading our story. We can't wait to celebrate our big day with you! - Cade & Kinli
