Kelly & Lechelle
Update: Congratulations to Kelly & Lechelle! They adopted a boy in April!
Kelly was fresh off the plane from his two year LDS mission to João Pessoa, Brazil, when he started his small honors psychology class at UVSC. Lechelle was fresh off the plane from her 5 month experience of teaching English in rural Namsom, Thailand, when she joined that same class. Because it was a small class of 8, everyone got to know each other very well and became fast friends, but it was Kelly and Lechelle who bonded the most. It was like they were little kids getting caught writing notes and whispering during lectures, so much that the other students began to tease them about being more than friends, which Lechelle adamantly denied simply because it hadn't occurred to her to really think about. While studying for finals together at the end of the semester, Kelly surprised Lechelle with a confession; he had a crush on her.
The first three months of our courtship began long distance, with Kelly spending a summer away with his older brother. They called each other every day, wrote e-mails, letters, and postcards. They could not spend a day without talking to each other, and their friendship solidified. When Kelly returned, romance was quickly brought back into their friendship and they easily fell into dating. One year after their planes brought them back to the same country, Kelly proposed, and five months later they married in the LDS Salt Lake Temple.
Now they are living in Kansas City, Missouri. Kelly is in dental school, studying hard for a stable career to support his family and learn the skills to help people in need. Lechelle has her degree in social work and is currently working as a secretary at a law firm.
They have now been married for three and a half wonderful years. They love each other very much and are looking forward to becoming parents.
