We met while both undergrad students at Sterling College. Our friends were friends, so our overlapping circles were bound to bring us together at some point. Our interest in each other was mutual, but our friends ultimately gave us both the push we needed to step into the unknown. After our first date, it was evident we had something special. By our third date, Emily knew she had found the man she would grow old with. As a couple, we have been through a tornado, job changes, long distance, cross-country moves, family deaths, family births, and many more life events. The single vein which runs through our time together is Jesus Christ and his grace. If not for Him, we would not have been able to establish the foundation we have today. We are thankful to Him each day for bringing us together.
