We first met at a Christian summer camp called Doe River Gorge when we were only 17! I (Maya) remember my very first impression was basically drowning while attempting a lifeguard test. :D Long story short, I failed, and Bradyn, who ironically was already head lifeguard, spent time training us on other different activities at camp. Our first non-official “date” was spent blowing up rafting tubes in a barn where we had a lot of time to get to know each other. We were inseparable ever since and started dating shortly after! We were living in different states at the time— him in Georgia and me in Tennessee. I’m so thankful to God that we attempted long-distance. It was hard but so worth the wait!
