An energetic, knows what he wants, fresh out of PT school boy meets a stubborn, fresh out of nursing school girl in a place we both never thought possible; a dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel. It's no accident that virtual coffee shop set the foundation for all of our Starbucks moments since. God invaded our hearts and began to write the best love story of our lives.
On a beautiful Friday afternoon, he planned a date "with friends" in our little town where we hold so many memories. He somehow convinced me that a dress was needed for the occasion. We walked our familiar path downtown over to the park where he first asked me to hold hands. As we went up into the gazebo, he asked me my favorite memory in this town. I rambled off something I can't remember and then asked for his. He said "that's hard because it is right now" and dropped down on one knee. I was so surprised and completely oblivious to the photographers all around us. It was the best YES I've ever said!
We can't wait to join all of our friends and family in the north Georgia mountains come this September! Our prayer is that like the mountains declare the glory of God so will our love as we join in this covenant with Christ. This verse in Isaiah echos our hearts desire for this special day. "So you'll go out in joy, you'll be led into a whole and complete life. The mountains and hills will lead the parade, bursting with song." Isaiah 55:12 (msg)
