We are so thankful for our mutual friends (Matt DeLuka, Alex Moore, and Liz Gouge (Schroer)) for introducing us. Although we could have met earlier (apparently Julia wasn't interested at the time), God led us to each other in His time. Our first date was on October 27th, 2020, and we got engaged on March 19th! We have been blessed by God's peace throughout our dating journey and are astonished at how everything has fallen into place. We can't wait to be Mr. & Mrs. Gardner!
