We met through a mutual friend who decided to set us up without our knowledge. Little did we all know that this was the beginning of a beautiful love story. Joelle was working at a day care while Billy was working between Houston and Cameroon yet they still found time to spend with one another. We continued to spend time learning more and more about our differences as well as our similarities; most importantly our common love of God and of course shoes!

Spring Break has always been a fun time to travel. As two people who love to travel we decided to take our first out of state trip together. We flew to Chicago and had plans to go see all of the sights and eat all of the amazing food. During our second night in town we went to the Signature Room on 94th, which is a restaurant that gives you views of the entire city. After the incredibly romantic dinner, Billy got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I instantly said "YES!", and we were engaged. We're so excited to share the next part of our lives with you See you in April!
