How we met

The buildup to the very first date!

Banks and I officially met at a game night I threw at my house in January 2023. We played this fantastic game where Banks got to showcase his fine theater performance skills. The whole room was filled with laughter. However, we both went upon on merry ways until April. It was that Good Friday service in April where Banks complimented my shoes, and I was absolutely pumped to think of him possibly flirting with me. I thought "man, a guy rarely takes the time to compliment a girl in life let a lone minutes before a church service starts". It was awesome. A couple weeks later we found ourselves looking for every "excuse" to hang out with a group of friends together. We all know how that goes, you plan a group hangout truly hoping to see one person. He was that one person for me. Another 2 weeks go by and we are on our first date, walking on the Beltline to Barcelona Wine Bar. Were we nervous? Yes. But did we feel at ease and never run out of conversation? Yes. After that, time sped up. We went on several more dates and started officially dating a couple weeks later. Some would say we were "deep in like". We enjoyed one another, laughed with one another and cared for one another more than expected! The joys of it all were clear God delighted in us together and time would show that our friends, family and church friends felt all the same. April 11th, 2025 here we come for a life time of joy spent glorifying the One who made it all come together so smoothly!
