We both attended Cottage Hill Christian Academy. Cole was a grade ahead of me, but I knew who he was and he knew who I was. When Cole finished his 8th grade year at CHCA, he left to go to UMS and in doing so, his parents wanted to hold him back a year for sports. WOW! It is so amazing how God works things out! After a year at UMS, Cole decided he wanted to come back to CHCA for high school, which meant we were going to be in the same grade! Throughout our freshman year, we did not talk to each other much. During our sophomore year, we started talking in the classes we had together, but it was nothing serious. Then junior year started and Cole and I had almost every class together. We somehow ended up sitting near each other in every class. We started talking more and more each day and Cole quickly became one of my best friends and someone I knew I could tell everything to. Cole listened to all my problems and concerns as a high school girl, and he would always give me the best advice. One thing led to another and Cole asked me to be his girlfriend in April 2016 of our senior year. We have together ever since.
