Kadarius and I met in the fall of 2018 through a mutual friend from high school. Weeks later after being introduced to Kadarius, there was an event at school I needed a date for. Everyone I reached out to was busy, including the mutual friend who had introduced Kadarius to me. While this mutual friend was unable to go, he recommended I go with Kadarius. He put us in a group message and Kadarius and I planned to meet. As we began to get to know each other, we realized that we had the same small friend group in high school. We had just never been introduced to one another. We recalled being at many of the little get-togethers at each other’s houses. I remembered one of my best friends from high school going to prom with him and seeing the pictures afterwards (since I was not old enough to go). I think it's amazing how God plans and times everything to the finest of detail for the greater good! We started officially dating January 20, 2019 and have now been together for over 2 years. As Kadarius and I prepare for marriage, one goal that we both want for our marriage is to have the love we share for Jesus reflect our love for one another and to spread this love to others around us.
