We first met when William Landrum cast us both in his student cutting of "Hansel and Gretel" in the Spring of 2023. Alice played Gretel and Jon played the father. We traveled on tour with the Logos Theater in 2023 to The Ark Encounter in KY as a dwarf and a rabbit in "The Horse and His Boy," and again to the Museum of the Bible in DC as Trufflehunter and a Water Creature in "Prince Caspian" in the Spring of 2024. Neither of us were considering a relationship with the other at that time, but we did have some good conversations.

In the Spring of 2024, we were on tour again with the Logos theater performing "Prince Caspian" at the Museum of the Bible in DC. There was a consistent point during the show where Alice would be redoing her hair and makeup and Jon would be sitting underneath the air vent to catch a breeze. We ended up sitting next to one another and carrying on some very interesting conversations together and in a group. Some people in the cast noticed something (or thought they noticed something, nothing was going on at the time) and brought up the question of a relationship between the two of us (some more bluntly than others), but the tour ended and we went our separate ways. Over that Summer, the Lord was working on the both of us. Revealing faults in character and impressing upon us both the need to be fully content in Him and what His purposes for our lives were. So when we crossed paths in the Fall of 2024 on tour with "The Pilgrim's Progress," the time was right. We sat together at a group dinner at a sushi restaurant and talked. The next week we sat together at a Nepalese restaurant and talked. Then a burger place, and a pizza place, and on the curb outside waiting for our rides. It took some time and some intentional conversations but a month or so later, in the fall of 2024, we officially started dating.

Since we have known one another, we have almost constantly been on the road. We have gotten to see one another under stress and high expectations, in comfortable circumstances, and wildly uncomfortable ones. We've gotten to see growth and be a part of the other's growth. Looking down the road, we anticipate continuing to travel with the Logos Theater for as long as the Lord would have us there. Our greatest excitement is continuing to serve the Lord and spread his word together.
