let the adventure begin!

A little over a year ago, Blake attended Fresh Life Church for the first time and was immediately greeted with a hug by Sydney, who was greeting guests. At that very moment, Sydney knew she needed to know more about this man. The following week, Sydney was talking to her friend Shelby while her youngest daughter Lucy was flirting with an older member of the church. Layla, Shelby's oldest said "Lucy flirts with all the boys. You should see her with Blake!" Sydney though to herself "so Shelby knows Blake..." Darby and Shelby worked endlessly on getting Blake to attend Sydney's small group so they could finally hang out. Two weeks had passed and Blake had failed to show. Darby reached out to Blake to invite him to go rollerskating with the small group. Surprisingly, he came! And fell about a million times. Sydney fell 0 times. And it was basically all up hill from there, they fell in love that night. KIDDING!! Sydney didn't even talk to him that night!!!! HOW RUDE!! Blake never missed a small group session after that. Days passed and they finally exchanged numbers and truthfully the rest is history. They've spent countless hours together watching Drake and Josh as friends, to watching countless hours of F-R-I-E-N-D-S as boyfriend and girlfriend. They've become each other's best friends, shoulder to cry on (cough - Sydney cries a lot cough), cooking buddies, adventure partners, and teammates for life. They can't wait to start this next adventure and see where God takes them.
