Aaron and Alexis met at a very young age on the first day of 6th grade! The first time they met was during a ice-breaker game in their first class of the day where the goal was to find somebody with the same shoe size. Alexis, wanting to get to know Aaron more, lied and claimed to have the same shoe size which was far from the truth. Aaron was a bit gullible, so he just shook her hand, formally introduced himself in a first and last name fashion, stated his shoe size, to which she repeated back with Aaron none the wiser. Pretty soon the two became inseparable, the best of friends. Aaron invited her to church where she eventually found the Lord and began her own journey of faith. In middle school they began "dating" however as they both aged their friendship deepened and a true relationship blossomed that carried them through the trials and struggles of high school and early college.
