When I met Lincoln I was fully enveloped in the bustle of being a camp counselor. Earlier that year God has really lit a fire under me for pursuing the camp ministry and sharing truth and wisdom to the current high school age students. So I was there for that and fully walking in obedience to what God had purposed for my life, I was not expecting God to drop a man into my life at all. At first I was intimidated only because I was a stranger at OFCR, as I had only been there one other time in the winter. The people I’d previously met and was relying on to seek some comfort in were gone. So when Lincoln came waltzing in calling out to the familiar faces to him I was sure that he was a veteran staff member. He did catch my eye when he stopped in front of me and said “we haven’t met before, I’m Lincoln” and shook my hand. Sure I thought he was cute at the time but when I found out he was going to be one of my superiors for the two weeks I was there it was all business and I was worried about impressing him and not making a fool of myself. He seemed to have warmed up to me over the second day when I WAS making a fool of myself trying to get the dinner table of campers to follow my lead and make silly puffer fish faces. Sadly for him he had to be the one to see my failed attempts. By the second week I was happy to see him because he had become a familiar face and less of a concern for me. I was shocked by day two of the second week when my co-cabin leader told me that she “thinks he likes you more than that, no she knows he likes you more than that” when we were laughing about his slight favoritism toward our cabin. I knew when he aggressively signed up to go to hammock haven when I was one of the staff in charge that he just might ask me out. I was overly tired and in pain after rolling my ankle a second time when he dozed off the moment he hit the hammock I was sure I was wrong about him asking me out. But when we were walking back to the lodge he started a conversation with me about how I got to OFCR then he said “I’m going to put myself out here and ask, ‘are you single?’” I had a big smile on my face that grew when he followed his question with “would you like to go out on a date?” I was unexpectedly on cloud 9 and was so sure that this was God in his perfect timing doing exactly what I knew he would and drop a man into my lap. Lincoln sweetly gave me a note the next morning with his number and “excited for our date :)” the moment I got home I texted him. Our first date was spent half in my parents basement attempting to play Mario Tennis on the N64 and the other half was spent bowling where he respectfully kicked my butt. We started dating after our second date on 7/31/2024 and I was 100% confirmed that this was the man I was going to marry. I won't lie and say that I wasn't aware that he was going to proposed when he did but with the way the morning went on 12/13/2025 I was thinking I was wrong. But while we were hunting for a Christmas Tree for his uncle he popped the question.
When I first met Katelyn, I was working at OFCR as the program director. Katelyn was working there as a Counselor for the kids and I was her boss for the 2 weeks. I was able to interact with her and when I first saw her I thought she was pretty. As the 2 weeks went on working together, I would always ask My assistants if She was looking at me because I thought She liked me too. Within the final days of working together I worked up the confidence to ask Katelyn out on a date after Bible camp ended. Thankfully she said yes and responded back to me so that we could figure out a time for our first date, I took her bowling and then we played Nintendo 64 games at her house, all in all I felt like it was a good first date and a relationship that would keep growing. The second date I asked her to be my girlfriend and from there we are finally here.
