We met at college, actually the very first week of college at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. We were both on grounds crew for our work-study and Joshua saw me sweeping up dirt in the shop. (How romantic ;) ) He thought, "Now there is a future housewife!" JK, neither of us really thought anything of it the first time we met, and barely remembered it. (The Blackketter family now says that Joshua fell in love with me at college, and they say it was "While You Were Sweeping"...sounds like a good name for a movie parody. :) We met again on grounds crew later in the fall of 2016, and Joshua drove me and my friend Madeline in the one-ton truck to finish a trash pickup job for him. It was cold that morning, and I was only wearing plastic gloves and Joshua asked why I wasn't wearing actual gloves to keep my hands warm and I said, "Because I'm a crazy person!" (Again, how romantic and attractive of me! ;) ) That's pretty much all I said at that meeting. But by then he was hooked. So, the next semester I ended up in a group he was in for a Valentine's Day dinner with our dorms. We started chatting afterwards and I went to a missionary kid skate night with him and other friends. After that we kept in touch, went on some dates, and became an "official" couple about a year later. Of course we have had ups and downs, tears and laughter through it all, and I could keep writing for hours about our story, but I'm sure you have other things to do, like checking out the rest of our website! Hope to see you at the wedding!!!
