We met at the University of South Florida, at an on-campus ministry called InterVarsity. Not only was this a space where we grew in our faith, but we also learned what it looks like to have a Christ-centered relationship. After a year of friendship, and Deric *patiently* pursuing Eli, we finally started dating. That was the best decision Eli ever made! 4 years later, we are happily engaged. We are beyond thrilled to get married, and spend the rest of our lives loving God and each other!
