Noah and I met at Ball State University, where we attended college. In December of 2021, we were paired together as Hospitality ministry coordinators for our Christian Campus House (CCH). We worked closely for a semester, creating events and delegating roles for students in this ministry. Both of us quickly realized that we worked well together, and we enjoyed spending time together at CCH events. However, it wasn't until April of 2022 that we realized there was a deeper connection.

When our first date was differs depending on who you ask. Noah asked me to go to a local restaurant after one of our Hospitality planning meetings...as a celebration of all the hard work we did during the semester. To him, this was our first date. Officially, he asked me to go to Red Lobster and see The Batman at the movie theater a few days later. When he told me that his mom used to take him on "practice dates" to Red Lobster every year, I knew he planned a nice date.

Noah officially asked me to be his girlfriend on April 8, 2022. Since then, we have had an abundance of travel adventures, binge-watched TV shows, concerts, and service in our church. On October 7, 2023, he asked me to be his wife. I look forward to a lifetime of all the travel adventures, binge-watched TV shows, concerts, serving in church, and the wholesome love that we share for each other.
