Brandon and I met at church in our college group when we were about 19. We shared the same friend group but didn't get to know each other better till we joined the leadership group for our college class. When we were about 22 he asked me out for the first time, but I was not ready for any sort of relationship. Over the years, we continued to be friends but it wasn't until 2020 when we began to pursue a serious relationship. Having known each other for the past 10-11 years, gave us a great foundation for trust and love. It was an epic year and a half of dating! We got to blaze trails, visited other states, explored national parks, jumped out of a plane, shared memorable moments, and ultimately share a deep love for the Lord and are devoted to encouraging each other in our spiritual growth. It is incredible that God allowed me to see all the wonderful qualities that Brandon had; He truly gave me all the desires of my heart in this man. It has been a blessing for both of us to have found a partner who is dedicated to ministry and are both devoted to loving one another as Christ loved us. As we enter our 30s, we cannot wait to begin our next adventure and are blessed to have family and friends who have helped us get to this point in our lives!

Naomi and I met at church some time around the year 2010 where we served alongside one another. She was working at that time after finishing her undergrad and I was working full time in the warehouse. It didn't take long until after I got to see her heart in the way she loved on others, how outgoing she was, how fun she was, and her devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ that I knew I had to have her! I had made some failed attempts in the past in asking her out and so it wasn't in God's timing in that season of our lives. Naomi began to pursue her career in nursing school in 2016 and in doing so, she had to leave out of state so we wouldn't see each other for long periods of time. God was gracious to Naomi in allowing her to graduate from nursing school in 2017. God blessed her with a job and she got right back into serving at our church. In the meantime, I was still there serving at church as well. Naomi's character stood out so much in my life that it was difficult to move on. The Lord knew how much I cherished her and I believe He knew when the time was right. So, in the year 2020 we officially began dating and the rest is history! Looking forward to journeying life with this amazing women, serving our Savior, and growing old together! Thank you all for being apart of our journey, we love you all!
