We met early 2014, although I don't clearly remember the moment, Josh remembers perfectly. (Enter Josh) “I sure do, I heard about Arianna through my mom and I just had to see for my self. So we first met on a hike” We saw each other here and there. Each time, more intentionally. “Yes, some times I had to intentionally put myself in her surroundings to get her attention.” The three-year difference really bothered me then and I told Josh time and time again that I was not interested in being more than friends. “But It didn’t bother me so friends we were!” I always felt that I was being heard and understood with him. We could spend hours together sharing our frustrations, stories, and experiences and it always felt right; there were no butterflies then, just peace and I knew I had a friend in him. However, I thank God for his persistence! “After asking her to be my girlfriend three times and being rejected each time, late one night she asked me and the rest is history.” And that's how the cookie crumbles!

I, Arianna, will be living in TN to be with Josh (I will miss my Chicago fam!). I plan on studying and working. Josh will continue with his job in TN. And the rest is a mystery we are excited to uncover together. We appreciate all of your love, support, and prayers. You are always welcome to our home (just give us a few months!) Love you all!
