The Greens

Our moms graduated from Jemison High School together and had been childhood friends. Over the years, Jenny moved to Athens with Mike and Amy moved back and forth from Jemison and Birmingham, so they lost touch. The Kendricks eventually began attending church at Mineral Springs Baptist Church, where Michael's aunt and uncle, Jaime and Jason, are members, and our families reconnected after living in Birmingham for 5 years. One day, Jason had the bright idea that he should set us up. He told Michael about Anna, and Jaime told Anna about Michael. We were both pretty hesitant about being set-up at first, and our first time meeting was honestly a little awkward. Michael got Anna's number, and we gradually began talking more and more until we finally had our first date in October 2023. After that first date, we became inseparable and instantly made our relationship official. From then on, every weekend either Michael would drive to Tuscaloosa to visit Anna or Anna would drive to Auburn to visit Michael. After a while, you get used to that 2.5 hour drive! Pretty early on in our relationship, we began to realize just how much we loved each other and became best friends. There is no one else in the world that we feel like we can be more like our real selves with. We figure if we can make it through over a year and a half of being two hours apart, we can make it through anything together!
