Our Story

An Unlikely Beginning

When people ask us about our story and how we met, it’s nearly impossible to avoid the humorous details of our first encounter, but I have limited space here so I'll sum it up in a few words: dollar beers at Nick's Pub. A few months later, on the day we had our first date, my mom also went on hospice. I thought a date would be a nice way to get out of the house - a breath of fresh air. I didn’t know it then, but the day I agreed to go out with Dan was a day that I began to lose and gain all at the same time. What we've learned is that God doesn't work on our time. He doesn’t wait until we’re “ready” or until we have things all together. He meets us where we are sometimes in uncertain circumstances, at inconvenient, improbable times. He uses unqualified, unexpected, imperfect people to carry out his plans. He uses hole-in-the-wall bars and dollar beers. This all being said, both of us consider ourselves completely indebted to our support system. You all are essential to our story, and we’re eternally thankful for the many ways each one of you has touched our lives in some way thus far, and look forward to continuing to share our lives with you. We are absolutely thrilled to be moving into this next stage of our lives together! Cheers, Madeleine and Dan
