How we met

Neither of us believed in love at first sight. . . until we saw each other

Matt and I met for the very first time when I was a sophomore in high school and he was a sophomore in college. His best friend was the college intern at my church, and he brought Matt with him to visit one Sunday. Obviously, Matt was not interested in any high school girl at the moment so I lost out that day. The second time I saw Matt, he walked into a conference room at Lubbock Christian University. Matt was there for work, and I was there for extra credit (haha). I was sitting in the back, just waiting on the meeting to be over, and I looked up just in time to see the most handsome man in the world walk into the room! I nudged my friend sitting next to me and said, “That is the cutest man I have ever seen!” It took me a minute or two, but I texted our mutual friend and asked if this man was the same man he brought to church so many years ago. Long story short, this Matt was the same Matt, and I was instantly in love! Two days later, we met up at a mutual friend’s house and talked for hours. We both knew immediately that we were in for the greatest adventure either of us had ever planned. Matt lived 5 hours away from me at the time. So, we wrote so many letters, stayed up way too late for several phone calls, and planned many weekend trips that never seemed to last as long as we wanted them too. Eventually, Matt moved back to Lubbock for a job, but also for us (wink wink!). We are beyond excited to begin our lives together. June can’t get here fast enough!
