In 2021, I followed Drew on Instagram, drawn to how beautifully he worshipped Jesus. He followed me back, and for years, it was just occasional likes & small comments on each other’s stories, often with long gaps in between. From afar, he would see glimpses of my life my family and the mission trips I would post about. Without ever saying much, he quietly supported those trips by finding the links and donating, which meant more than he knew.
We never had real conversations or expressed interest, everything stayed in those small passing moments. But there was always a quiet awareness of each other.
On 07.08.25, everything changed. Drew messaged me & asked if he could pursue me. After years of distance, it felt unexpected yet completely right. What began as a step of faith quickly became something intentional.
Through long distance between Tennessee and California, we built a relationship rooted in faith, love, & God’s timing and now we get to spend forever together.
