On March 23rd, 2019 we both decided last minute to visit friends in Milwaukee, Wi. He went to visit former teammates from the Carthage golf team and I went to celebrate a good friend's (from Carthage) birthday. Our two groups of mutual friends decided to all hang out, celebrate, and party together. We met and neither thought much of it, we were both in the process of earning our masters degrees at the time and we were both just looking to have a good time with friends. Throughout the night we had a few conversations and at the end of the night when we were all getting ready to leave he asked for my number. We had texted for awhile to get to know each other more before planning our first date for April 12th, 2019! We have said from the beginning of our relationship that God had a timeline for us WAYYY before we could ever even know. We came too find out that he grew up in Wautoma, Wi, a place my family had spent time when I was very young, and lives about 2 miles from my grandparents. We discovered that his mom, Barbara, and my Aunt, Susie, worked together at Oshkosh West High School for many years and are good friends. AND we attended Carthage College (a very small school if we may add) during the same years. We were finding out that our paths could have crossed many times throughout our lives, but that God had a plan and His timing was perfect!!!
