It all started with Instagram.. We found each others Instagram through a mutual friend. One night I was coming home from youth group and felt this tug on my heart from the Lord to message Lucas. Which was really weird because I’ve never even talked to him before then. I did what the Lord was asking of me and messaged him the verse the Lord had put on my heart… we talked for hours. After that day we texted every day! One day I had some deep questions about things in the Bible and Lucas was the first person that popped into my mind, with his knowledge and tender heart for the Lord my heart felt safe to go and ask those hard questions to. He gave me his number that night and we sat on the phone for hours. Over the 2 months we were texting back and forth and Bible studies every single night, Lucas was in Texas for a work trip ( which is a lot closer to Kansas the New York) so I asked my mom to take the 8 hour drive down there and she agreed so I went down without him knowing and surprised him! That was the first time we met and the day we met in person Lucas also asked me to be his girlfriend. After that for a year we did long distance. That was one of the hardest things we have had to do, but the biggest blessing. We were shown not to take our time together for granted, love fully, and to always choose each other. We later got engaged December 9th, 2024. Luke flew out and surprised me and I was beyond excited and so ready to be his wife. I moved across the country January 18th, 2025 so that me and Lucas could finally end the distance. Since then me and Lucas have started our own family and got married March 15th, 2025. We got eloped at a lake near by while still very excited about getting to celebrate in September with all of our family and friends. We're so excited for this upcoming season especially to have all of you along side with us. Thank you for being apart of our love story!
