we first met the beginning of freshman year in 2018 at a whitworth water pong tournament for all new student-athletes. though we said hi in passing, we were pretty invisible to each other for our first 2 ½ years at whitworth. spring of our junior year in 2021 we had a class together and were both involved in two campus ministries where we started crossing paths more often. in march of 2021 at an athlete ministry event called "night of inspiration" we both shared our testimony. Hearing of each other's love for Jesus displayed in this way peaked mutual interest and led to a few walks where we got to know each other a little more. these walks led to a date which led to many more dates, hangs, and spaces in which we have grown to know and love each other very deeply. <3
