The first time Brent met Courtney she ordered a grande, vanilla, soy Latte from him at the Corban University coffee shop. He had an inkling of a thought at the time, but did not pursue it. He soon moved to Los Angeles, and Courtney would eventually go to Nursing school at OHSU after graduating from Corban. Some years later, Brent moved back to Oregon and became an assistant coach for Corban's XC and track teams. Also around this time, Courtney had completed her Nursing degree from OHSU, and was hired as an ER Nurse for Salem Hospital. Fate or providence gave her the idea to volunteer as a coach for the same track team in her spare time. After two years working together Brent finally worked up the gumption to ask Courtney to coffee - and she said yes. They would go out a few more times, but Courtney expressed she was only interested in being friends. Not much ensued over the next four months until Brent invited Courtney to join him in seeing the movie Murder on the Orient Express. After that was dinner. And after that, the 1859 Cider House. It was at the Cider House that Brent blurted out the question, "So...why aren't we dating?" To this, she had no good answer. She genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. And so they dated. And six months later Brent went to one knee and asked Courtney to marry him as the 4th of July Fireworks went off around them. Brent and Courtney thank God for the paths which brought them together, and are excited for the path they will now travel together. They are also thankful for the many friends and family who have helped them get here, and who will be with them as they move forward on their journey. Blessings to all, and we hope to see you at the wedding!
