This year started off the same as any other year. New year resolutions were in full swing, the spring semester was about to begin, but this was the year our lives changed forever. Life has a funny way of bringing people together but God wanted to orchestrate something greater that far exceeded anything we could have imagined. We attended the same high-school for four years without ever crossing paths. It wasn't until meeting in church that we became friends. Quickly a bond formed and we became best-friends enjoying the same adventures. However, as close as we were it was not yet God's timing for us to be together. As months passed through fasting and praying we waited for Gods perfect timing. Through the trials God was truly preparing us for each other as we both pursued our dreams of being a firefighter and a nurse, and we graduated one month apart at the end of 2018! We could not have planned this better ourselves but are in complete awe of how perfect Gods timing truly is.

Being in a long distance relationship for the previous year, Jordan decided to propose a day before his firefighter graduation with family and friends present in Atlanta, Georgia. It was my birthday and nothing I ever expected but turned out to be the best birthday of my life when he took me to the top of a beautiful tree house in the middle of the city and got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him! Our life as a married couple will begin in Atlanta, Georgia and we are so excited!
