We met at the church Aniah started working for over the summer and instantly clicked. Israel asked her out two weeks after and they hit it off! They were intentional since the start and got to know each other very quickly! When she moved back to school they were long distance and tried to meet every other weekend. On times they wouldn't meet, they would call and learned a lot about each other through their conversations. Over time, Aniah decided to transfer to be closer and she wouldn't have done it any other way. Through many experiences, trials, tears, and laughter, they have gotten to grow and learn what it means to love- choosing it every single day.

Aniah- Doing life with Israel has been the biggest blessing and getting to grow in my faith with him pushing me closer to Christ everyday has been life changing. I have learned the love of God through him, how to love others by him demonstrating every day what it looks like to be a Christ follower, and walking through life choosing Christ everyday.

Israel- Being with Aniah I've truly learned what it means to be loved, she so quickly became my best friend. Having a best friend means not caring about their faults, their failures and all little quirks that arent so positive. She's seen all of those and still chooses to walk beside me. The fun we've gotten to have since being together is nothing like anything else I've experienced, it's truly been awesome!
