We are so excited to celebrate with you!

Deanza- "Adam and I met through mutual friends in the summer of 2020. I had moved to Salem with my mom after buying our very first house. ..Adam lives in Keizer. We became good friends and after months of dropping hints that I liked him, he finally caught on and asked me out on our first date. On our first date I had a list of 10 questions that I had prepared before our date. I had a discussion over the phone with David (He is like a Dad to me) about going on my date with Adam. He jokingly told me that the questions might scare Adam away, but I had asked the questions anyway. I asked Adam all 10 questions and he answered them genuinely." Adam- "Just as Deanza has said we met through some mutual friends in the summer of 2020. As we spent more and more time together, we became closer and closer friends. It wasn't until November when I finally picked up on the hints that Deanza actually liked me! I had been thinking she was WAY out of my league but man was I wrong. I finally asked her out on a date and instantly got grilled by what felt like 1000 questions...in a good way. Deanza was very up front and intentional about finding a man that loved the lord and would love her in the same way. After talking for hours on our first date I decided to ask her to be my girlfriend on the same first date. To my surprise, she said YES!" Deanza and Adam- "From the beginning of our relationship we made a commitment to each other to be very intentional in our quest to get to know each other best. That has led us to learn very important communication skills and learn to support each other through conflicts. From the start of us as a couple we have both known that a relationship with God is our number one priority in life and will continue to be throughout the years as we grow old.
