Let me just start out with saying, God always knows what is best. 2020 I don't believe turned out the way any of us wanted or thought it would, but God remained faithful. Actually due to the Pandemic, Edrick + I met working at Word of Life Summer Camp in Florida. Basically Edrick saw a really frazzled + pretty gringa (hint hint, me, hehe) working through an office window when he begged one of our mutual friends to introduce him. Shortly after that, Edrick expressed very clearly his intentions with this crazy gringa + became super intentional. He would often find ways to do so by "losing his campers" in order to get my "help," (insert upside down smiley face) he even used a "ministry opportunity" to open the conversation of a possibility to flirt with me, what a man. When Edrick was expressing his intentions with me he told me he would marry me... I LAUGHED at that young man + told him he had no idea what he was saying or getting himself into... yet here we are... (insert upside down smiley face again). Through long distance + the mess our world is in now, Edrick & I have truly seen + experienced the faithfulness + kindness of God in amazing ways (ask us about it sometime!) We are so thankful to all of you who have come alongside of us in this journey to get us where we are today + cannot wait to party it up altogether so soon!! Christ's love, Edrick & Shelby
