Both of us attended Southwestern Adventist University for college. Isabel started working in the cafeteria and one day, one of the chefs introduced her to Austin and asked her to help train him. We started working and eventually they let us go have our dinner which was only two workers at a time. We sat in the back room and Isabel read a book while Austin was on his phone. Isabel introduced herself first and we started talking about our majors and families. From then on we became friends and started talking all the time. We would go eat together and he would even go watch her choir performances. Despite all of the time we spent together, we did not start dating for two years! During those those two years we drifted apart at times, but always came back to each other. The summer before we started dating, we talked everyday. He texted while he was in his cousins wedding and while she worked at a museum. We were far apart from each other but were excited for school to start so we could see each other again. Once school started our junior year, our schedules were very different. We worked different shifts at the cafeteria, but Austin always came and sat with me during my shift at the register. He always helped me out and kept me company. The weekend we started dating, we had gone to see the movie Anabelle which Isabel HATED! but Austin let her borrow his headphones and she kept her eyes shut the whole time. The next day we rented bikes and rode to the park. We laid on the grass and listened to music and just spent time together. From that day on, everything changed and it was not long after that we said I love you. We are so excited that after 3 years of dating and 5 years of friendship we finally get to say I do!
