In 2022, the Lord directed us both to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where we attended the nine-month Applied Life Leaders Academy internship. After graduating in 2023, we stayed in touch and saw each other a few times each year. In July 2024, we reunited as camp counselors at High Point Summer Camp and began connecting on a deeper level. Shortly after, we went on our first date, and just one month later, we made it official! Phinehas planned a beautiful engagement, from the ring which he designed which included family diamonds, to where he proposed at Balboa Lake on August 16th, 2025.
