In the beginning, we were both working at a private school called International Montessori Academy in Atlanta. He was a teacher assistant for primary kids and I was a teacher assistant for toddlers. Though we started off as simple coworkers, we realized that we shared the same faith and started to talk more towards the end of the day at work. One day, another one of our coworkers insisted on us talking more outside of work since we got along so well. We thought that would be a good idea so we decided to exchange numbers and talk on the phone later that night. From that point on, it became the start of a relationship neither of us expected.
We are both very serious about our relationship with God and putting Him first. Because we were growing in our faith on our own, we were initially hesitant to see if this is what God has allowed or if we were moving on our own desires. As time went on, we realized that God was giving us the green light from the beginning. Ever since the day we first talked on the phone and counting, our faith has been growing immensely with the help of each other. Once we had this realization, we decided to make it official and embrace the relationship that God has ordained. Now we are ready for the next step to be committed in becoming one in Christ 'til death do us part.
