It was the summer of 2002 when Mike and Kristie first met in Pine Valley. Joined with their friends, they were on their way to enjoy a day in the desert. After a few months of getting to know each other, they were inseparable. Since then, they have shared many wonderful and exciting experiences.

To name a few of Mike and Kristie's experiences together, in August 2003, Mike took Kristie on a hot air balloon ride for her birthday, during which they watched a beautiful sunrise over Temecula Valley. For Mikes 22nd birthday, they went to Las Vegas. Kristie surprised Mike with an evening helicopter ride over the Las Vegas Strip and dinner at the Palms. By far, their greatest experience together was their trip to Kauai in May of 2004. This trip has deeply enriched their lives and love for one another. Hawaii is a magical place, and it's humid too! They look forward to spending more time together in the islands.

These examples show the growing love and companionship that Mike and Kristie share. On June 1, 2005 Mike asked Kristie for her hand in marriage. They are excited about the joining of their love through marriage. Love is a truly amazing thing to them. Through their marriage they will continue to strengthen their love for the rest of their lives together.
