We met officially matched online in December 2024, however a year prior Rebecca saw Elliott's dating profile and was convinced that his account was fake and swiped left. But God had it planned for Rebecca to see Elliott's profile again and to like his profile prompt that described his six month journey hiking the Appalachian Trail. Elliott eagerly messaged back while visiting his family in Maryland. Elliott obviously asked for Rebecca's number and she gave it to him under one condition, he must call her over the phone before they had their first date. To her surprise, Elliott agreed and planned for their first date to be on New Years Eve... no pressure. The evening began at Colorado Grill and was going so well that Rebecca agreed to extend the date and took Elliott to her favorite spot by the river to watch sunset. The date was going so well that Elliott wanted to extend the evening even more into an arcade before saying their goodbyes. From then on the we have been celebrating how God timed our paths to cross with love and faithfulness at each turn.
