(one of the first photos they took together)

Nick and Kaisha first met in high school in January of 2015. Kaisha is from Vernal, Utah and moved to Castle Rock with her family in the summer of 2014. Kaisha was a sophomore and Nick was a senior when they first met. Kaisha and her best friend at the time (Mimi) were invited to go to lunch with a guy that Mimi had been talking to and he said he had his friend Nick with him as well. Kaisha agreed to go with and they met in the parking lot of the school. When they got into the car, Nick was sitting in the passenger seat. Kaisha nor Mimi knew who Nick was so this was the first time meeting him. They decided to go to Butterfield Park and just hang out for the lunch hour.

Kaisha said Nick was very hyper, outgoing, loud, friendly, and funny. He had her laughing the whole time they hung out. They ended up exchanging social medias that day and texted each other all night that night. They then started hanging out more and more and became closer and closer each day. They even started spending time together everyday for lunch and even skipped classes some days just to be able to spend more time together. Kaisha and Nick really enjoyed going to Butterfield to hang out (this is where all the high school kids hung out). They really enjoyed each other’s company and just sitting in Nicks truck and talking for hours.

Two months later on March 9, 2015 Nick asked Kaisha to be his girlfriend, she of course said yes and they were officially dating. They were constantly with each other doing things like going to car meets, traveling, hiking, going to concerts, amusement parks, restaurants, the lake and so many more places! They have made a ton of amazing memories together and keep making more every single day.

Fast forward to June of 2016, Nick and Kaisha decided to take the next big step in life and move in together. They moved into their first apartment in Castle Rock on June 22, 2016. THEN almost a year later on May 7th, 2017 Nick popped the big question!! Kaisha of course said YES!!

Now that these two love birds were engaged and also coming to the end of their year lease on their apartment, they had a decision to make. Plan a wedding or buy their first house!? They both agreed that they did NOT have any interest in renting again and definitely wanted to look into buying a home. So they decided to hold off on wedding planning and start house shopping! After getting approved for a house loan, they then set out to look at homes within their budget at the time. They had absolutely no luck at all. They were having a hard time finding a home they liked that was within their budget and when they did find one that they liked, they would send in an offer and then always got outbidded. So this was very disappointing for both of them and it was time to decide where they were going to live if they didn't want to rent another year. So luckily Nicks super generous parents invited them to stay in their home until they got things figured out. Soo they moved into Kimberly and Michaels basement July 2017.

While living with Nicks parents rent FREE, they were able to just focus on saving all the money they could. It actually wasn't until almost 2 years later that they decided to reapply for a home loan and start looking again. Now that they were both making more money at their full time jobs and had some in savings, they actually got approved for a lot more this time, which meant more options when looking! So they began the home search again and ended up sending offers in on a lot of homes.. but again kept getting outbidded. This was getting very frustrating for them, until one day Kaisha was at work and her manager mentioned how her son was currently talking with Richmond Homes to build a new home. At first this sounded like something Kaisha and Nick would never be able to do!! They thought that it would cost even more to BUILD A WHOLE NEW HOUSE, but they were wrong!
