We met in early 2023 through a mutual church family! We instantly connected as friends and realized we had many qualities and passions in common! Our first date was at a coffee shop--one of our favorite pastimes to do together to this day! We lived in different cities at the time, so we decided to value getting to know one another as friends, while also trusting in the Lord's timing for our relationship. We officially started dating the following July and have been in love ever since! We are so grateful for our families, friends, and all that have loved and poured into us, but most importantly, for God's goodness and steadfast love!
