I first noticed Vinny at a 5k charity event our campus ministry was having. This was his first time coming out to our church, his cute face and athleticism definitely caught my eye. It wasn't until years later that we started getting to know each other as friends that we started to hit it off. After talking during a large duration of this group hike we had, I knew there was something special about him.

I was already friends with Xio's brother Omar, We became friends pretty quick after I joined the church since we shared a lot of the same interests. Summer of 2018 I was trying to get to know some other people in ministry that I hadn't got the chance to yet, and I realized even though I knew Omar I didn't really know his sister. So during a hike we were both on, I made an effort to get to her more (Which I'd say went pretty well) I quickly find out how Spiritual and how Beautiful she was and all the things we had in common, and that quickly became a whole summer getting to know her more.
