Alex and Jessica met by God’s will on God’s time. Jessica couldn’t believe her heart when she first laid eyes on Alex, she knew she had met the man that she had been praying to God for. They both can’t deny that God has His perfect hand in all things that have led up to the day that they will join their lives together as one. They met at Nicole and Cody Musser’s house 3 days before the Houston Marathon in January of 2020. Jessica taught a yoga session to Cody, Nicole and Alex. Alex and Cody had met a few years prior at a CrossFit gym and began training together to run in the marathon. After that Yoga session their friendship began to nourish as they began meeting weekly to take yoga classes together followed by Church and coffee afterwards. Flash forward to April 10th, Good Friday, where they decided to put a title to their relationship. They continued to grow and nourish their relationship in the midst of a crazy year ahead. They cooked, worked out, adventured, prayed, grew in faith, met on the couch for church every Sunday and bonded with each other’s family’s and close friends. On November 6th, at the top of Bear Creek Trail in Telluride, Colorado; Alex got down on one knee and time froze in those few moments where he asked Jessica to marry him. The one thing that amazes them both is again the hand that God has had in every detail of their journey and their relationship. The conversations quickly started of when to get married- especially in the midst of a crazy time during a pandemic, what was the right thing to do? God again stopped them in their tracks and an opening to a dream venue in Houston, Texas opened up on Good Friday of April 2021. Here we are now, Alex and I both feel the satisfaction of the Lord’s abundance within our souls and are filled with plenty of His goodness. We are so grateful for the love and connection with you all and all we ask is that on our day and throughout our journey together that we get to connect with you and share in our love for one another. That is the best gift we could ever receive. As we join our lives together to make a home, A few home projects here and there are making it onto a list of things we would like to start together so we only ask that if you feel motivated to give (other than your time and presence) we have started this Newlywed Fund and are so grateful for anything you wish to give. “A sweet friendship refreshes the soul....We have not ( and will not) cease in giving thanks to our God always for you, remembering you in our prayers.”
