Kim and Chris’s story started at their beloved alma mater, Prairie View A&M University, where their paths first crossed. As Communication majors, they shared not only classrooms but also many moments working together as co-workers at University College, the freshman dormitory on campus as Community Assistants (CAs). Their lives were naturally intertwined, seeing each other almost every day, always maintaining a cordial and friendly connection. After graduation, life took them on separate journeys. But destiny had a plan. In the midst of the pandemic, Kim relocated to Houston—Chris’s hometown. In July of 2022, while celebrating her birthday with friends, she ran into Chris after nearly seven years. Kim was completely oblivious that their encounter sparked something in Chris. Nearly two months later, he reached out to her and shared his desire to reconnect and explore something more. What followed was the start of something truly special. Their friendship deepened as they spent countless hours on the phone, bonding over their shared love for their family, personal values, humor and dreams for the future. Everything just fit—seamlessly and beautifully. And now, they’re writing the next chapter of their story together. ❤️
