Joanna and I met in October of 2017. My beloved high school drama instructor had unsuspectingly employed both of us to work a seasonal gig at the Dallas Zoo for Halloween called, "Boo at the Zoo". As it happened, I was cast as Superman and Joanna as the leading lady-heroine of the performance, "Polly Patterson". The very first rehearsal, I opened the door to the most wonderful, soulful laugh that I had ever heard, which sucked because only months earlier, I had sworn off dating of any kind. Needless to say, it only took one three hour conversation after rehearsal one night, and a couple of months of pretending like I wasn't completely in love with Joanna to finally admit to her and everyone else that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. By some miracle and divine grace beyond anything that I felt I deserved, she admitted her feelings were mutual. We cannot wait to celebrate our love, and the God that brought us together with you all this January!
