Joel and I both met at San Rafael Catholic Church during our confirmation classes. The classes last two years and we happened to be in the same class both years. We stayed friends but lost touch for about three years until he messaged me on Facebook. We reconnected first as friends catching up with one another and finding out what we had been up to. Talking to Joel was like we had just picked up where we left off, but we were more mature and full of plans for our future, not knowing that we would both be doing this together. After going out as friends we both knew that this was more than a friendship, so we decided to give it a try and here we are, four years later, ready to build a life together!
