We met through friends at church and knew each other from a distance for a while. In June 2020, (in the middle of COVID) a group of us went on a trip to Colorado to hike in the beautiful mountains. On this trip, we got to know each other better and Jordan asked me out when we were in Colorado. In true Amber-fashion, I told him I had to think and pray about it. :) On the day I was flying back to Iowa, I told him I would go on a date with him. Our first date was just a simple walk to a pavilion at a local park. Ironically enough, we spent that whole weekend together in social isolation after we thought we were exposed to COVID. So in a weird way, we thank COVID for bringing us together!
