It&#8217;s actually a picture of my son looking at a dolphin behind the glass. Kimmy told me the dolphin&#8217;s name was Maya. Wow, I&#8217;m really impressed! They all looked the same to me. Haha! \ud83d\ude00 Well, apparently not. She told me that each dolphin have their own characteristics. Until today, I am still impressed that Kimmy recognized the dolphin on that small picture. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, let&#8217;s go back to Mike and Kimmy&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmy and Mike met at Washington College. It was love at first sight for Mike when he saw Kimmy for the first time. It left a lasting impression for Mike. Unfortunately, that wasn&#8217;t the case for Kimmy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>One day, Mike&#8217;s friend told him that Kimmy was in this play and he was still looking for few more students for the cast. Mike was interested. It would be a chance for him to get close to Kimmy.<\/p>\n<p>Mike&#8217;s persistence finally paid off. On New Year&#8217;s Eve of Kimmy&#8217;s junior year, which was about two years from the first meeting, they officially began their relationship. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Kimmy-Mike-Engagement-0202.jpg\" alt=\"Engaged couple embracing by a light pole.

Kimmy, Mike and their friends went to this park around sunset.\u00a0 Their friends who obviously knew that Mike liked Kimmy told them to go pose by this tree because they thought it would make a cute picture.\u00a0 So their friends were definitely trying to set them up. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nHowever, Kimmy told me that if she had to pinpoint a moment, that moment under the tree would be the moment when she basically fell in love with Mike.\u00a0 Even though it would be almost a year before they started officially dating, that trip marked what was essentially the beginning of their relationship.
