“I met Kordell almost 4 years ago when I spent my summer volunteering at a summer camp. Kordell was the attractive guy who worked on the ropes course and we became fast friends. He would save me a seat everyday at lunch, walk on the busy side of the road, and always text me goodnight. I was completely oblivious that he had feelings for me and thought he was just being nice! One day, I received a call from my mom that my dad was having emergency surgery. I took a week off and went home to be by his side. Kordell would call and text me every day to check in and make sure I was alright. When I returned back to camp, he had planned a surprise party for me. Everyone wrote me notes of encouragement to welcome me back, and then we spent the rest of the night singing karaoke. It was one of the best nights I've ever had. I couldn't believe that someone would go to such great lengths to make me feel loved. He has continued to spoil me with his love and affection ever since that day. It wasn't long before we decided to spend the rest of our lives together. We got married at camp- the very place we met, had our first kiss, and fell in love.”
