Can't wait to celebrate with you!

We attended the first ever Churchella festival being held at the grassy field beside Newlife Church. However, despite having many mutual friends, and sitting in the same section, our paths never crossed. One year later, at that same Churchella festival, we were introduced! JJ came up to me and reintroduced himself again later that day to strike up a conversation. I had learned that he had just begun recovering from a basketball related injury. Although, he was potentially moving to Arizona in just a couple weeks to continue to train for basketball. While just a week prior, I had felt the Lord redirect me from my original plans, and I pulled my housing deposit from Seattle Pacific University. We both had realized while we had made plans in our hearts, the Lord had directed our steps. He had directed our steps closer to Him and (eventually) to each other! Both of us had no intention of spending the next year in Puyallup, let alone together. That year we were inseparable. And it's been that way ever since.
