Sondra was just 13 when she first met Kyle at the Preston bowling alley. He was older, taller, and probably better at bowling—but little did either of them know, this wasn’t the last time life would throw them together.They kept crossing paths over the years, but fate really took a swing (literally) in their 20s when Kyle won a golf bag at a work party at Kathy’s pub. As he swung it over his shoulder, he accidentally whacked Sondra on the stairs. Instead of being mad, she laughed—and they started hanging out.From Mankato visits to wild party nights, Kyle wanted to date her, but Sondra wasn’t ready to settle down. Their timing was always just a little off.Then, after some tough chapters, their paths crossed again. Sondra commented on one of Kyle’s Snapchats, and he asked to meet up. She said yes…then canceled two minutes before. But Kyle wasn’t taking no for an answer. He showed up anyway, and when Sondra opened the door, she noticed his tall frame, deep voice, and remembered just how much fun they’d always had together.Not long after, she told him she knew she was going to marry him. Four months later, they were living together and expecting Nixon. Since 2017, they’ve built a beautiful life: two amazing kids (Nixon and Nellie), a home they love, and a love story that proves timing really is everything.And it all started with a bowling alley, a golf bag, and a little persistence.
