Nicole and Daniel met during a year-long Christian camp internship in Westcliffe, CO. By unanimous vote, the interns decided that we would hold off from dating in order to preserve our professional and personal relationships, and so that we could focus all of our attention on the Lord. One day in the Spring (though it still felt like winter because of being at 8,500ft elevation on a Mountain) Daniel noticed Nicole in the kitchen as they prepared to serve guests for a weekend retreat and had an epiphany thinking, "Any guy would be lucky to end up with Nicole." Meanwhile Nicole was working on a 21 day challenge to get to know her peers on deeper level by sitting with them one-on-one for a meal. Sparks flew as we sat and ate lunch one day talking about our passions and desires for after the internship. Little did either one of us know the plan the Lord had in place for us to come together and pursue a relationship with each other later that very year. As the weather grew warmer way up in the Rockies and summer arrived, the attraction grew as we got to know each other more. At the end of the summer I,(Daniel), asked Nicole on a date when we got to Texas as we had both gotten jobs in Van, Texas. What started as an innocent crush blossomed into love. After only a few months of dating, we started talking and praying about marriage. It ended up taking a little longer than we had planned, but for the better, we got engaged on February 11, 2021. We are looking forward to our marriage on Sunday, May 23rd, 2021.
