Our story all started at summer camp. We both came into WinShape in very different parts of our lives. Jules was in her first summer after her freshman year at Auburn University, looking for something meaningful to fill her months with. Brandon was working at a hospital back home coming into his faith again, looking to do more with his life. We ended up being placed on the same traveling day camp team where we would spend the whole summer driving around the United States with twenty other people, telling kids about Jesus. Off the bat, we weren't necessarily the best of friends. Jules was extremely nervous being around all new people in a new environment (borderline regretting signing up for camp) while Brandon was his typical fun-loving, friendly self. On our first interaction, sparks didn't fly... Jules complimented Brandon, to which he quickly dismissed and Jules swore she probably wouldn't be friends with this guy (funny how life works). As the weeks went on, we grew closer to Jesus and kept him as our priority for the summer. We both vividly remember telling ourselves that we weren't here to find a partner but to serve the Lord and do it well. However, that didn't stop God's plan of letting us find each other. Day by day, we fell more in love. We knew it wasn't just a summer fling but something that was going to last. Therefore, once the summer ended, we made it "official" and started our long-distance journey. This has now lasted about since August of 2021, with lots of highs and lows but we count it all joy. God has given us beautiful memories together, as well as an amazing and supportive group of family and friends. Most importantly, He has given us his blessing and shown us more of our purpose through pursuing Him and each other. We look expectantly ahead as we see where this life takes us and are thrilled to be doing it by each other's side!
