The journey kicked off with a swipe, many laughs, and God's impeccable timing. Our first date was at El Tiempo which quickly became a staple, where Sammy learned about Tim's love for spice. So obviously, Sammy who then hated spice (now she tolerates it out of love) scheduled a date for the us at the Hops 'n Hot Sauce Festival in Humble where she entered us in a voluntary jalapeno eating competition, which Sammy bested Tim at. Our first "I love you" was shared at a Whiskey Myers concert before chasing down an out-of-towner who left their purse at NRG Stadium after the show. As months passed our location changed from Texas to the Pacific Northwest and back where we learned more about one another and grew closer together. Despite our differences in interests and personalities, the root of our relationship is in the Lord, who has used our contrasting qualities to help sharpen one another, allowing us to build our relationship on God's solid rock to withstand the storms of life.
