Our Love Story
Blake and Jamie met in St. Kitts at Reggae Beach. Kite-boarding lessons led them to realize how much they had in common; this sparked many days together. They went scuba diving, sky diving, paddle boarding, camping, played soccer and enjoyed time on the surrounding tropical beach (studying of course). Blake saw Jamie’s affection for animals first hand and Jamie fell in love with Blake's gentle charisma. They are anxious to share their lives together.
