Our first photo together- "Just Co-leaders"
One of my favorite date spots!
Gabe's 26th Birthday
Dance Party with our Outreach Team
Took our team to zip lining in SA... Such a fun day
Gabe inviting me over to "tour plan" and I ended up helping cook his dinner instead
RIGHT before this photo was taken, I literally told Gabe I would let him plan my wedding... Neither of us were interested in each other at this point. A whole year before we started dating!
Praying together at a local Durban rehab
Best "Co-leader" out there!
The night Gabe professed his feelings to me... I knew this night we were going to get married.
Gabe's first fourth of July
For all the days along the way
