So, during the height of COVID after lockdown and we were allowed to go out with masks on. We started talking on Catholic Match, we started talking towards the end of October 2020 and we met on November 7th and had our first date.

My thoughts about the date is that it went really well and I talked way to much and he would never want to talk to me again.

Nick thoughts about the date. I thought the date went well but I was nervous at the same time. I enjoyed talking with Kayleigh and was excited for another date.

During our first dates, we went to dinner a lot and just enjoyed each other's company. Our first Valentine's we did a different kind of any date I have ever been on, we went to a place called Scene 75 were they have a lot of arcade games, with go carts and some pool tables. I honestly was pretty impressed.

My thoughts on that date was I was very excited to do something fun and not just dinner and a movie; because that is what a lot of people do. We also went to church before hand and it made the day even more special.

(Nick point of view) I was never big on Valentine's Day. So this date I wanted to do something different. It was a very fun and unique date that made the day even more special and memorable.

Around Memorial Day, I took Kayleigh to Kings Island for the first time. It was a beautiful and sunny day. I had been to Kings Island many times but alone. It was always my dream of taking a significant other with me. We had a good time riding the coasters and watching the shows.

(Kayleigh's point of view) When we went to Kings Island, I had only ever been once, and I am not a very big coaster person. I only promised to try rides as long as they did not go upside down; so the first ride we rode was the Beast I was able to take off my glasses; so they would not fall off during the ride. I screamed my head off and could not see very much which was the best! I never imagined I would enjoy a roller coaster that much. We went many more times that summer. Since then we have been on several vacations together. We went to Florida once and we have been to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We have also been on smaller trips, going to Hocking Hills one year, and to the Brown County Fair, is always a treat. We got engaged on October 14th, 2023; we were at a event for the family business, in Milan Indiana, it is called Mayberry West Farms, it was a rainy day and we were super busy. There was a lull in the rain and the sun was shining; he took me over to a bridge and we were looking at all of the pretty autumn trees and the colors. Next thing I know I turn to him and he gets down on one knee; and he said a lot of things, I don't remember all the details, but I do remember saying YES! I also said well your mom was definitely looking down and watching us for giving the sunshine in that moment.
