Our meeting was an act of God. Literally! Community group at our local church brought us together, though we often wonder if our paths unknowingly crossed years earlier on campus in Chapel Hill. A second date involving a HIIT-style workout on a frigid evening led to a third. Shared effort during that second-date workout grew into admiration and, in time, into love.

The proposal also went just as planned… in time. Everything was set, but a bout of the flu rerouted us to urgent care. Two days later, a quiet street, a well-timed ambush, sweatpants, and a very surprised "yes!" followed. Right on cue!

We’re thankful for how you’ve shaped our lives, often in moments we recognize as God’s provision and care for us. Many of you have helped form the most important part of who we are—our faith in Jesus—and for that, we are deeply grateful. We can’t wait to celebrate with you as part of the plan, revised and otherwise!
