We met at an event Brianne was holding for her youth group and had arranged for some of the men from Teen Challenge to share their testimonies. She had planned for a mutual friend to come and speak and he couldn't make it so he sent Michael instead. We were not expecting to meet, but cannot forget the moment we did. It was as if we both knew then and there that it was the beginning of something so special. We became friends and stayed in contact but as he went back to finish school at TCMI, we both decided to not pursue a relationship. As months went by, the phone calls began to fade and we lost contact. Not for lack of trying from his side :) Then in July of 2017 both Michael & Briannes moms decided to take a trip (separately) to Yosemite. Getting all the way to the top of Glacier Point there was the magical moment AGAIN. Seeing one another and feeling the tug that this was something to pursue. And we did. Three years later and lots of growing together and individually, May 29th 2020, we felt it was time to take the next step. And here we are planning to celebrate with all of you and sharing a special part of our lives. It was all in God's timing, and we are so thankful for that!
