Through mutual friends, we ended up at the same apartment one night. Haze will say he wanted to make the first move, but it was me who went up to him and asked, "Can I touch your mullet?" Don't worry, the mullet is long gone now! Thanks to our roommates, Will & Korin, we ended up being close friends. Our roommates tolerated the four of us spending more time together. After many dates talking in the green Dodge, late night Dominos runs, talking about our faith, family supper with our friends, and realizing life is way more fun together, we knew this was something special. I knew Christ had His hand in this. I opened my Bible many times, and I had faith God was showing me that this was my path. After college, I moved back to Iowa for clinicals and my first big girl job. Thus started our long distance era. We drove back and forth 1-2 hours almost every weekend to see one another. Thank you Jesus for the safe travels. By the grace of God, I landed an occupational therapy assistant job servicing the local Brookings schools for school-aged children for THIS AUGUST! Haze knew it was time. He surprised me and proposed to me the following weekend while the sun set after I read a long letter. We are so thankful God has led us and we pray we continues to lead us. Putting Him first always!
