It all began on September 15th 2024, we sat next to each other at church. Or as Ian puts it, I walked in late and sat in the chair across from him. During the greeting, I turned to say hello to my neighbor, and that’s when I noticed him. Ian went home that day and texted a friend about this “super huge girl” he saw at church — his words, not mine — and forgot to get my name. Later that day I went home and journaled my prayer for God to bring me my future husband. A few days later we made eye contact from across planet fitness. I walked over to say hi (because let’s be honest, Ian probably wouldn’t have), and we ended up talking about our faith and how we both found our way to Traverse City. A few days later boredom got the best of me and I re-downloaded Instagram even though I was on a social media break. There was — a follow request from Ian Washington. From then on out we were texting back and forth but I was focused on building a community of believers around me. About a month passes and after seeing how much Ian loves Jesus and cares for me I was ready to start dating.
