Since 2001, our paths have danced around each other. We've lived within 20-60 minutes of one another, yet had never known of each other. In the heat of a global pandemic, however, we finally met (ironically, 3 hours from where we grew up.) Kameron was working on a project in Christiansburg, VA, and I was living 40 minutes away in Roanoke, VA, attending PT school. Instagram was our matchmaker. (Yes, he sent the first message). Our first dates were quarantine-approved and anything but traditional. Kitchen dates were highlighted by Kam's exceptional cooking expertise and my stellar tasting abilities as a glorified Sous Chef. Living room dates were complemented by two playful pups, Netflix documentaries, good candles, and bad reality TV shows (love you, Love Island). Dog park dates consisted of Kam sprinting through obstacle courses, and Gemma and Charlie watching in awe. We went on secluded waterfall hikes, and had countless pickup truck bed picnics on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We found such beauty and love during our precious time together, and we have spent every possible moment together since. Kameron proposed on June 6th, 2023 in Santorini, Greece. It was purely magical.
