Paul and I first met long before we ever imagined a future together — back in 5th grade at North Jackson Elementary School, where we shared the same classroom. After that year, life took us in different directions as Paul spent much of his childhood bouncing between North Georgia and Las Vegas. Years later, our paths crossed again when Paul moved back to Georgia for 9th grade. We were both on our school’s mountain biking team, racing the same trails at the same time — yet somehow never actually talked. The timing still wasn’t right, and the following year Paul moved back to Las Vegas once again. Even so, our story wasn’t over. Paul had been quietly following along from afar (thank you, Instagram), and when he moved back to Georgia in 2024, he finally reached out. One date in January 2025 was all it took — and the rest truly is history. We are so grateful for the way the Lord has grown us both individually and, in His perfect timing, brought us back together. We feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such loving family and friends, and we cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
