Orbital gravitation has a certain inevitability, and we were circling one another until our orbits collided. One summer night, we were invited to a backyard party at the home of our dear friends, Kia and Amy. Though we'd met before, that night we really saw each other and got to feel the sparks fly. We eagerly awaited the next backyard party, and our matchmakers seemed to guarantee we had some alone time. Kyle finally worked up the nerve to ask for Annelise's number. The match was made, and the rest is history.

Kyle eventually moved in with Annelise, and with two people and three dogs, we quickly realized that we would need a bigger space! We decided to look at houses for sale just for fun, and suddenly found ourselves under contract on a home with two weeks to close. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a beautiful home and welcoming neighborhood.

We have traveled to many places in our time together, including to Seattle and the UK, as well as many visits with close family and friends. We have enjoyed growing closer with our communities together, and we cannot wait for the big adventures that our future holds...
