To tell the story of Kyla and I, it’s best to start when I first saw her. I was leaving Andreas, the dorm building at Covenant College that we both lived in, and she was walking by me with a group of her volleyball teammates on her way to practice. It was like everything else was a blur and I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she walked by, not noticing my existence.

Come to find out, we shared a spanish class and it only took Kyla about 3 weeks to notice that I sat right behind her. Even with that class being a great opportunity to introduce myself, I couldn’t get over the fear of talking to her and it took one of our close mutual friends, and now one of my groomsmen, Cameron Cortman, to force me to talk to her.

It all happened one night when Cam was sitting in the lobby of our dorm with Kyla and some of her friends. When Kyla left to get some food with her friends, Cam texted me and said that I had to come downstairs and introduce myself and that’s exactly what I did. I sat there for a little and when she came back I had it all planned out of what I was going to say. Kyla sat down and right as she took a huge first bite of her food I shakily introduced myself hoping for a good reaction, but instead what I got was a blank stare as she chewed her food and awkwardly stared back at me. That night, even through the awkward beginning, we talked for a while and everything in me wanted to see her and talk to her every second I could.

From those first conversations I knew that Kyla could be the girl that I marry and I did everything in my power to make that happen. It was and is a joy pursuing her everyday and trying to get her to date me even when she said she wouldn’t at first. With the help and creativity of some friends I was able to convince Kyla to go on a date with me, then a second and third and before I could realize it, I was dating and in love with my best friend. It has been a joy over the past 3 plus years to learn who Kyla is and to become a part of the Bailey family. The Lord had richly blessed us and Kyla and I are so excited to see how the Lord will provide in our future.
