I met my soul mate in Ryan Hall at Siena College on a blind date while I was a freshman in 2006. From the second I laid eyes on her I knew she was the woman I was going to marry. It has been over five years now and I thank God every day for bringing us together.

I cannot picture my life without her. I love her more and more as each day passes and I feel so lucky to have such an amazing, caring person to share my life with. She is truly incredible and she makes me a better person.

Kyle is a special education teacher in a self-contained classroom. I admire her patience, strength, and compassion.

I am at the point where I want to propose, but unfortunately I am a penniless law school student. This financial burden is not only deterring me from proposing, I am also in competition (with my mother).

I come from a family of three boys. My mom loves having Ky around to do girl things with so much that I'm afraid she will adopt her as her own before I get the money to buy an engagement ring.

So seriously, please keep that from happening and vote for us! Ky truly deserves a ring as beautiful as she is, inside and out, and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with her.

This contest would be a great opportunity for me to finally get the ring that she deserves. I hope to see you at the game- GO SAINTS!
