From dodging every friendly advance to now allowing Drew to propose, this sure has been an amazing, wild, journey. It all started out with breakfast and a book. As time moved on, we moved to and fro, in proximity to one another, until Israel. In the 'Promised Land', we truly started getting to know each other more intimately. God began unraveling a deeper connection, a whole year later, well at least to Natalie. Little did we know, God was revealing that the time was coming for His promise of marriage. It was something we both trusted and surrendered to Him way before ever knowing one another. God sees and knows intimately each of His children. In this desire for marriage, God honors the obedient surrender, and has delivered on His promise to us. We are honored to get to impact God's kingdom through the model of our relationship; which we characterize with genuine, open-handed, caring, playful, and diligent hearts. Natalie - "He truly loves me well, his firmness is admirable, his humility is safe, his deepness is securing and embracing; He is home to me. I do not have to doubt his pursuit for God or me. He is the one I want to continually develop a lasting friendship with." Drew - "To know that I am marrying someone, who first loved me from the inside out, has truly been something I never could have imagined. I am thankful to God for His faithfulness to His promise for marriage. Natalie is more than I deserve and to love her, is an opportunity to be challenged, humbled, and strengthened. She is my partner, confidant, my "biggest cheerleader", and the caretaker of my heart. To marry her is an honor and great responsibility, that I gladly take on for the rest of my life."
