T HE L OVE S TORY
They both came to Huntsville for college at Sam Houston State University. He came From México to pursue rodeo, and the
rodeo team got him hooked and in the states for college. Kenli came to college from Dayton to become a kindergarten
teacher, but little did she know they would fi nd each other. They met at church and didn’t get along at fi rst. They gave into the
curiosity of each other and decided to date, Esteban fell hard, but Kenli wasn’t ready to give her heart to someone again. They
broke up for a year, but he stuck around, with his mind set she was the one. Esteban prayed hard for her to fi nd her way back
and respected her time and space, and sure enough a year later at a Valentines banquet at church, Kenli realized she made a
mistake. Esteban danced with everyone but her like he always did when together and broken up, and in that moment blinders
came off her eyes and her heart broke. She fi nally realized he was the one all along and shouldn’t have ran on someone God
set her up with from the beginning. He made her win him back and sure enough two weeks later they were dating and have
been together ever since. Esteban and Kenli were married February 1, 2020 with more love for family, different backgrounds,
cultures, the Lord and love for each other than they could have ever planned on when they fi rst met at college.
