As God guided us, we met at White Sulphur Springs, a beautiful OCF getaway for Christian families. We occasionally passed by each other as we worked, but had entirely different responsibilities. Though we talked sometimes and joked around, that's all it was; but the next year changed that completely! In 2019, I had applied for the same position as assistant wrangler and was overjoyed when I arrived to find that the head wrangler was the very same Alan Battaglia I had met the year before! I was a little shocked by his sudden change in appearance from the clean shaven young man I had seen before, to the red bearded lumberjack that stood at least an entire foot taller than myself. Mere weeks after admitting our mutual interest in each other, we fearlessly agreed to marriage. Our love has grown everyday along with our friendship and on March 9th of this year, we became officially engaged! We are blessed because GOD is GOOD! Here we are, lovingly and faithful continuing our story, being joined together in marriage before our family and friends!
