The Story.

Kacey and Randy both met while on vacation in Costa Rica. . .

. . . while Kacey was back visiting old friends and living in Groton, MA, and Randy was planning to surf and relax before starting at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. We shared a beer at a beach bar one fateful Sunday afternoon. . .

. . .which led to us spending the week together. A week turned into a year, and before we knew it, Randy learned he was going to be stationed in Okinawa. We decided to not let a little intercontinental distance stand in our way, so while Randy packed his bags for Japan, Kacey decided to move to San Francisco, CA for a new adventure, too. . .

. . .and we saw each other 6 times over the next 2 years. That 17-hour time difference ultimately didn’t matter or slow us down, and when Randy found out his next stop was the Pentagon, we both packed up and became roommates in Old Town, VA. And Old Town saw us become forever roomies when Randy popped the question, and we got engaged. . .

. . .shortly before moving to Camp Lejeune, NC. North Carolina has now been our home since May 2020 and will be until July 2022, when we’ll then pick up and head to Carlisle, Pennsylvania (Army War College – here we come!). North Carolina has seen us adopt a dog (Chase the Meathead), buy a boat (Troubadour), and now host a wedding. But the bottom line. . .

. . .is we never would have had the amazing 8 years (and counting!) we had without all of you. So this party is to honor all of you – from near and far, who loved and rooted for us from the start, and supported us through thick and thin. We thank you for being part of our celebration – whether you’ll be joining in person or cheers’ing in spirit from afar. We love you all, and we are deeply grateful to have you in our lives.
