Her Version: Near the beginning of our senior year of high school I remember hearing rumors that Jack Shuffield had a crush on me?… I really didn’t think much of it & if anything was just curious to see how long it would last. We began to hang out & date casually. However, I’ll never forget our official first date; sitting across from Jack, eating chocolate pie, & very clearly thinking this could be the boy I’m going to marry. The years to follow were filled with much laughter, joy in lessons learned, & growth together. Who would’ve thought that nearly 4 years ago the guy I started crushing on would become my future husband. I always prayed that the Lord would provide a Godly man who would lead me & love me well but Jack is better than any list of qualities I could have ever imagined. God’s work can’t be contained to any list. His Version: Senior year of high school began & we had a freshman retreat for all the incoming freshman. I stood in front of them giving advice about dating, while encouraging them to cautiously & prayerfully date in high school. But the Lord had a funny sense of humor. In the weeks to follow, there she was sitting directly across from me in our algebra class. Ironic because I had never really talked to her before, despite the fact we went to school together for so long. But I thought to myself, “She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.” I was thinking there was no way she would like me at all. But come on who wouldn’t like me. It started with asking for math help, then my subtle flirting, to talking her into seeing Interstellar. It was amazing. Couple weeks later we discussed what we wanted & I firmly said, “I wanted to be with you.” Little did I know she’d be my fiancé today. We went through the rest of school at a breeze. We both felt led to the University of Arkansas & continued our relationship. We had our highs & lows in college but I’d like to think we are ending on a high point & so looking forward to the adventure ahead.
