Kennetta worked at my bank and she was the girl I kept trying to sit next to and talk to in Sunday school. We were strategically seated next to each other at a baseball game (thanks Phil).
I loved our conversations. We could talk about anything. She didn't even leave me after our 18 mile hike to a parking lot in sandals.
What have been some of your favorite moments with Kennetta?
11-26-07 my finger grazed her cheek. Trip to Texas (all Vacatio'n moments). Salsa dance (all dancing). Valentine's day, getting to spoil her and see that gorgeous smile that melts me.
How did you propose?
With a fair amount of planning and a lot of help from God. I drove over to Bozeman to secretly meet Kennetta's dad for lunch, after the 3 hour prayer/drive we had a great talk and as we are leaving he gives me a letter that Kennetta had written 10 years ago to her future husband. The letter contained 3 Godly principles and a desire for her proposal to be swept off her feet. So now I had a goal but I had to find a way to get there. Lots of ideas rolled through my head, but I decided there was no better way to sweep her off her feet than a couple thousand feet in the air. Her principal would not let me land at the school so God presented me with a horse pasture a half mile away. His plans are better than ours, so I left a note for her at school to go to her car where I had Cora Lynn waiting to take her to the Field. Cora Lynn was under the impression that I was riding up on a horse so they parked and I told Eric (the pilot) to land and all I saw was Kennetta's head in her hands, then her looking up shaking her head and then putting her head back in her hands. I got out of the helicopter, ran over to her hand her a rose and asked if she wanted to go for a ride. The next 20 minutes I was a little nervous but we got to the waterfalls and I asked her to marry me. She answered me with the words "I don't know..." and I almost fell out of the helicopter but she finished with "yes I will marry you". God had his hand in so much of the planning and especially that day holding off the weather (thanks to lots of prayer) that I eagerly await to see what God is going to do with the rest of our lives.
What are some of your favorite things about Kennetta?
Her heart for Christ and others, her smile, her patience with me, how beautiful she is, the funny little things she does that make me laugh, her stubbornness, the way she cares for me... I could go on and on about how wonderful Kennetta is, but I will save that for later.
