Jose and I met when we both decided to go on a mission trip to Mexico with our youth group. We didn't know each other at the time but, on the second day of their trip Jose asked me to come play chess with him and a friend of his. From that point on he sat with me in chapels, at the meals and talked with me on any free time we had possible. The moment that started it all for me was the plane ride back though. Jose sat with me and talked to me about every photo I had on my phone the whole plane ride back. For anyone who knows me I have over 1,500 photos at all times on my phone for some random reason. But, because I was so nervous of flying he let me talk his ear off for hours to distract me. Then after that night I didn't think I would see him again but, Sunday morning he showed up and sat with me during service and on August 8th, 2016 he asked me out. Jose and I have been together from that day on and gone through many, many ups and down's in life. A few family vacations have been taken and a few random day trips to random spots. He's been by my side through many blood draws and three surgeries. We adopted two cats and puppy together as well as three grand kittens. We are so excited to be able to take this next step in our lives together and start are journey as man and wife.
