Although we had been briefly introduced at the beginning of our Freshman year at Wheaton, we didn't really get to know one another until we were both RAs during our Junior year. We sat next to each other at a dinner one evening and connected over tic-tac-toe, Semitic languages, and global missions. After a few good (or not so good) excuses to see one another, we found ourselves on a first date. It didn't take long to figure things out from there! After visiting each other's families over winter break, and a few critical conversations about the future, we felt confident in the direction we were headed. Spending the summer apart didn't stop the love, as we continued to call and talk. We didn't waste any time, getting engaged right at the beginning of the school year. Now we are beyond excited to begin our life together after we graduate!
