Luke & I met at Auburn. Both of us were single for a few years & we were both completely content in our present states. During the Spring of my Junior Year & his Senior Year, we were placed in the same Logic class. I was undergoing a few surgeries for carpal & cubital tunnel that I had developed throughout my major. All I remember is that he was cute, but I was not looking for a relationship. All he remembers is that I was the crippled, curly headed girl who gave him a few answers to some questions on a take home test. After I spent a summer abroad in Italy and Luke spent a summer interning with an accounting firm in Georgia, our paths crossed again. We were placed in the same Missional Community through our church. (Side note: we went to the same church all 4 years of college and never knew of each other.) The "miss comm" was led by the couple that discipled us separately throughout college. I was discipled by Tara Bell, while Luke was discipled by her husband Cameron Bell (who is also officiating our wedding). Behind the scenes God was working in beautiful ways. I remember my brother asking me one weekend "If you could date anyone right now who would it be?" I remember answering that I really didn't have anyone in mind, but I knew that I wanted to get to know Luke Horton better. That triggered something in me, so I started making an effort in "miss comm" to get to know this man. I didn't know that my "subtle flirtatious hints" were God's way of telling Luke "this is the one you've been praying for." He had prayed that God would place a girl in his life because he was done looking. One thing led to another and we started dating. The months to follow were hard for me. I suddenly started taking a few steps back because I remembered that I had prayed "God, let the next man I date be my husband." That memory scared me because I didn't think I was ready. Luke's unwavering pursuit of me not only made me fall more in love with him, but also more in love with our Savior.
