Cody and I knew of each other because of our small hometown of Spicewood, Texas. Having similar hobbies and mutual friends made it inevitable for our paths to cross. Cody had oh so romantically invited me to a high school party my junior year, but I politely declined. A year later, Cody was now a hot shot graduate and a text showed up on my phone from him. I remember thinking to myself “how in the world did this guy get my number?” Never did I expect the first time we met to turn into nine hours of conversation. We shared our passions about wake boarding and the outdoors, but most of all our love for Jesus Christ. We saw a light in each other and an excitement for life that was impossible to not explore. Days turned into weeks, then months, then years, and our love continues to grow. Endlessly.
