WELCOME TO OUR STORY

Our story began when we met on July 15, 2016 at a student led ministry called Ignite in Arlington, TX that Jess and a few of his buddies started. Jess did his rounds of introducing himself to every student at Ignite, and Audrey just so happened to be there with 3 of her friends this night. Jess honestly does not remember meeting her this night, but she knows it happened. Audrey saw him speak to about 250 students about His passion for Jesus, and thought that he was just the coolest guy ever, and a cutie. Fast forward September, when they were talking a lot on the phone, and Jess asked Audrey out 3 times before she finally wasn't too scared to go on a date with this boy. The first date was September 24th, which included chicken & waffles, church, and Italian ice. Many dates later, on October 15th after Jess' Senior homecoming dance, he asked Audrey to be his girlfriend at the park that Ignite was held at every Saturday night. They have now been dating for almost 4 years and it has been the happiest time of their lives, but also a time of being strengthened through valleys. Jesus has been so good. Through the long distance of Jess being at ORU in Tulsa and Audrey being still in high school back in Texas, and now her being Arkansas, so much growth has happened. -- So that's our story! The Holy Spirit led us into this season of engagement, and our hearts are filled with joyful expectation for what He will do in now and in our marriage. Thank you to every one of our friends and family who have loved on, prayed for, and surrounded us throughout our lives and relationship, we love y'all.
