Gordon and Alyssa met in the way everyone is using these days; the internet. Each had a goal in mind and little did the know, they would complete their common goal in the same way. On October 3rd, 2013, Gordon and Alyssa met at a local Starbucks. This came after many nights of countless texts and lots of planning. The two of them had only one obstacle in their way and that was the distance. He lived about an hour away and this made it hard. However upon their first meeting, the distance didn’t seem to matter anymore. Over the next 3 years, they drove back and forth to keep the relationship going strong. Finally, in 2017, Gordon was blessed with a great opportunity to move closer to Alyssa and work for Spring ISD as a dual credit teacher. Alyssa was already established at a growing Montessori school in Gleannloch farms. This move had been everything the two of them had hoped for and prayed for over the last 3 years. With distance came challenges that the move quickly resolved. December of 2017, Alyssa and Gordon got engaged in Austin and shared the news with their families soon after.
