Who would have thought that Alex would ever choose to sit in the front row of an accounting class at 8 a.m. - some things will always be a mystery. Classmates quickly turned into friends featuring heated late night debates and meaningful conversation - both parties realizing there might be something special here. With the summer came innumerable flights between Arizona and Texas; family introductions; plenty of wine, cooking, and chess games; and a shared faith that has seemed to answer all the big questions. The year that followed was a whirlwind of quarantined travels, time with family, growth in the Lord, and trying to pass French... as we got a taste of the life and family we knew we wanted to build together. Now we are here and are so looking forward to starting this new chapter together. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people.
