How it all came together

August 2018

He tells the story way better than I do. But I have to say, I think it's pretty rad if you ask me! Ethan and I both arrived at school early for ministry leadership training in our individual dorms. After a few, long training days, our leaders decided to bless us with a fun (rainy) field day outside on the campus lawn! We were all split up into teams where we wore specific colors. Ethan and I happened to be on the same team - the orange team. At one point during a game, I was on the sideline cheering while Ethan was still on the field trying to rack up points for us. Suddenly, Ethan noticed this short blonde girl cheering on the sidelines (he says it has "I looked toward the sideline. And I see you. And literally, everything STOPPED. The rain stopped, the cheering stopped, everything stopped. I could only see you in my field of vision. And I went 'oh.'") Once the round ended, I join my teammates on the field, standing next to Ethan. He turned to me and asked, "what's your name?" "Katie." "Katie! Hi, I'm Ethan, and we're going to be best friends." And he walked away. Little did I know, that was the day where my life would change forever.

For all the days along the way
