Nathan and I met on a dating website. We started texting and then calling each other. We never ran out of things to talk about. I remember showing him several songs that I liked at the time, one being Oceans by Hillsong United. He ended up loving that song and started listening to the same music that I do. We both had been heartbroken in our past marriages, and even though the situations were different we had that in common. We both love God, so that was a big plus! We decided to meet at a restaurant. We went out to dinner to get sushi, and then we went to Craft Conundrum after for a couple of beers. Craft Conundrum became one of our favorite places to go to before it closed. A month after we started dating I met Nathan's two children, AnneMarie and Parker. AnneMarie had just turned 6 and Parker was 4. They are now 11 and 9! Nathan and I have been dating for over 5 years. We love spending time with family and friends, going to church, being outside, trying new wines and beers, and cooking different recipes together. We got engaged in May 2019 at one of our favorite vineyards, Raffaldini Vineyard in North Carolina! We've been through a lot together in our relationship and been through a lot as a couple with everything that has gone on in the world over the past 5 years, but our love continues to grow for each other each day. We've grown so much individually and together. One of the big reasons for that growth is our faith and trust in our God. He is always there for us, always faithful, and it's amazing to see how He has worked in our lives individually and as a family. We are so glad we found each other, and I'm so happy to have two children that will soon call me stepmom (or they can still just call me Kimberly if they want).
