In case
someone on this site hasn't seen us for a while, here's a little of our
history and what we're up to now. . .
Kyle
and Caitlan started dating April 5, 2003, right before Kyle's family
gave Caitlan a ride down to Florida for Spring Break and right after
one of Kyle and Caitlan's teachers got married. Kyle's family just
happened to be vacationing in the same city as Caitlan and her friends.
In fact, it turned out they were just down the beach and could walk to
each other's condos. In the car on the way to Kyle's house after the
wedding, Kyle asked Caitlan out, and she eloquently said "K" and
immediately put her head in her pillow on her lap. It was dark, so he
couldn't see her blush anyway. Once Caitlan was dropped off, she
immediatly went inside and told her friends, and when she told them how
she responded she wasn't sure if he knew she meant yes. So she called
him to verify, and he laughed at her. Kyle apparently did not tell his
family because when they were getting ready to leave, his mom told him
she was glad he and Caitlan were not dating. A little worried, he asked
why, and she said because then he would be all mopey the whole way home
since his girlfriend wasn't riding home with them. She found out later
that they were dating.
Their first big date together was prom of
senior year, at which they wore red and black. They weren't taking
their relationship too seriously because they were going to different
colleges and didn't think they would try the long-distance thing (not
knowing that later they would endure different countries rather than
different cities within the same state). Their first break-up was
before Caitlan moved to Georgetown and Kyle moved to Louisville, August
21, the day before Caitlan's birthday.
They got back together
November 2, 2003. Since then, they have broken up a few more times
(they don't keep track of the dates anymore) when one of them was
leaving the country for an extended period of time, but they couldn't
quit talking to each other, and each time one came home, they started
dating again. The final, and longest, break-up occurred before Caitlan
headed off to England for two years to get her degree from Oxford. But
then, a sort of creepy guy, who Caitlan used to know, started facebook
stalking Caitlan, so Caitlan suggested they get back together
("Facebook official") to get him to stop. Kyle, being a gentleman,
obliged. And they've been together ever since.
Kyle graduated
from the University of Louisville in May 2007, majoring in Political
Science and minoring in Russian Studies. While a student he also picked
up a certificate in Russian Proficiency from Perm State University.
After graduation he worked for UofL's College of Business as the
Assistant Director of
Development, mainly working on fundraising for the school. He has since
left that position to start his own software development company.
Caitlan
graduated from Georgetown College in May 2006, majoring in Liberal
Studies. She then went on to study at the University of Oxford at
Regent's Park College, majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.
She finished the program in June 2008 and graduated from Oxford in
November 2008. That graduation trip in November was when Kyle proposed,
and Kyle and Caitlan got engaged. Caitlan works as an Energy Analyst at
E.ON US, the company that owns LG&E and KU. She works in the
Sales
Analysis and Forecasting department, mainly looking at a lot of data
and numbers.
Now, they are excited to be planning their wedding
and the rest of their lives together, with no more break-ups and no
more long-distance. |
