Our story starts as Awana helpers in Heritage Baptist Church, we were part of the same youth group and spent time serving with each other and our peers. As two shy individuals, we kept our feelings very hidden and neither suspected the other felt the same way! When we graduated high school we said goodbye, seemingly for good, as we both were going to attend separate colleges hundreds of miles apart. However, we continued to communicate through text and eventually video calls during our freshman year. Towards the end of our last semester, Stephen asked if Emma would consider long-distance dating and her answer was immediate- YES! God has been so good to us and continues to write our love story. We are so thankful that you are all apart of this story and ask for your prayers as we start this exciting new chapter!
