We have mutual friends from our early teens on up, and so we attended the same birthday parties etc. Honestly, we had ample opportunity to meet and become friends before we did. Myles actually attended Jessica's high school graduation because of a mutual friend. Little did he know..... :) A couple of months after, Jessica was making music in a coffee shop open mic night with her family. Myles came in support of another of their friends. Jessica recognized him and invited him to come to Cornerstone, the college ministry that had become like a second home to her. He'd been invited once before, but this time he came ;) That's the first time he remembers seeing her.
We both became very involved at The Cornerstone, and served there for years. We went on missions trips, made coffee for people, and even led our small groups on the same night for years! We became closer friends many a night when we would drive out to Dallas with our friends, and swing dance the night away at Sons of Hermann hall. It wasn't THAT long before we were virtually inseparable.
We made it official on April 11, 2018. Pretty much everybody saw it coming. We have loved this adventure, and are beyond excited for the next season of it. On Oct 11, Myles picked Jessica up from work with flowers, got down on one knee and asked.
