It’s Happening!!!

Joshua and Anna met thanks to their moms (Ellie and Joellen) going to the same Bible study 30+ years ago. They both knew of each other over the years but it wasn’t till Anna made the first move thanks to instagram. It quickly ended when she thought Joshua wasn’t intersted. However, Joshua had other plans and didn’t lose hope. Several months later while on deployment Joshua decided to reach out and thats when it really all began... with many phone calls and facetimes!

November 19, was the day Joshua and Anna waited eight long months for. When they finally reunited at Joshua’s homecoming in Colorado Springs from his deployment in Kuwait. They knew then this thing was worth it and the dozens of plane trips that come with it.

After making it through a deployment and a pandemic what couldn’t they take on? Joshua convinced Anna that he had won a free photo shoot and wondered if she wanted to do a couples shoot and of course she did! Joshua was very invloved and constantly asked Anna what she was going to wear and if she got her nails done yet, which of course gave Anna an inkling. It was like any other day, Joshua and Anna went to breakfast and did some yard work around the house and then got ready for the photoshoot. At 5:00pm they met at Cheyenne Mountain State Park and began taking picutres right away. The photographer had Anna do the cliche walking away while Joshua held her hand and once she turned around he was on one knee and asked her to marry him.... and she said yes!
