We first met in high school, but it wasn’t until we crossed paths at a youth group conference that our connection really began to grow. Surrounded by the energy and community of the event, we shared conversations and moments that brought us closer together. That chance meeting turned out to be the start of something truly special. Whether it was in the hallways between classes, at a shared table in the cafeteria, or through a random class project, our connection started to form naturally. Over time, what began as a simple high school interaction grew into something much more meaningful, creating a bond that has stayed.
