Our Story

 April 14th, 2007

Our love story goes back 14 years.  We met in high school and dated from the end of our freshman year all the way through.  We went to separate colleges and broke up for a year and a half.  Ok, I broke up with him. I went through a rebellious and rocky time.  
      A few months later, God was convicting me and I knew he was leading me to a different place.  I ended up back in Ames and started getting involved in the Salt Company at Cornerstone church.  The Holy Spirit was really working on my heart and I grew so much spiritually that fall.  I rededicated my life to Christ that following December and got re-baptized (I was baptized as an infant).  Brett and I had both dated others during that year and half.  We never thought God would lead us back together.  Brett transferred back to ISU to finish his mechanical engineering degree.  We started hanging out and we both knew we would get married.  Brett proposed 5 months later on Monday morning November 20th, 2006.  He brought me breakfast in bed (I was living in my parents basement at the time).  He told me that he could drop me off at work, so I got ready thinking I was going to the credit union.  He took a wrong turn and I started freaking out thinking I was going to be late to work.  "Brett, I need to call Holly and tell her I'll be late," I said panicking.  He just smiled and looked at me and said, "Kasey, I already did...you have the morning off."  He drove me to Aveda where he had scheduled a half hour massage for me.  He just waited in the car like such a good boyfriend would.  Obviously by now I was thinking..."it's happening, it's really going to happen."  I was all excited I could hardly contain my emotions.  Then he put a bandana around my eyes to blindfold me and drove us to McFarland Park.  He carried me piggy back to "the bridge" then set me down.  He pulled out his bible and read Proverbs 31.  I had tears just streaming down my face.  He lifted the bandana off and was on one knee holding the prettiest ring I'd ever seen.  Of course I said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seven years later, 3 moves, 2 jobs, 2 houses, 2 kids and I'd say we are abundantly blessed.  God is good.
