Where it all began

It all began on a late Saturday night in 2019 a night that started like any other, out with friends, laughter echoing into the early hours. Neither of us could’ve guessed that our worlds were about to change. Somewhere between the noise of the night and the quiet moments in between, Garrett and I found each other. It wasn't flashy. It wasn't planned. But it was fate. Two souls, wandering different paths, guided quietly, yet surely, by the Lord. We were brought together at just the right moment. From that night on, we were inseparable. What started as a spark turned into a flame, and that flame has only grown brighter with time. Ours wasn’t just a romance. It was a friendship at first, deep, real, and grounding. A partnership built on trust, laughter, and shared dreams. A love that nurtured each other through every season, every challenge, and every triumph. We didn’t begin with much, just each other. Our hearts wide open and hope in our hands. We built everything together. A life filled with love, purpose, and the quiet joy of knowing that we’d found our person. Our soulmate. Now, looking back on that night in 2019, it’s clear: it wasn’t luck. It was divine alignment. And what a beautiful story it’s become. May the lord continue to lead our path, and we will follow it, together and always.
