May 2024

Dan: I had been interested, asking for some counsel of guys, and praying about asking Liz out since early March 2024. I had been able to see her outside of work many times in group settings and had really enjoyed what I had seen. May rolled around and I decided to pull the trigger. May 6th we both had the day off. I rolled by her house in the afternoon and there was no answer at the door. Texted her later in the evening after I had an event finish to see if she was home and if I could stop by. She said that was fine. I rolled in and knocked on the door. She answered asked, “Is everything okay, what’s up?” I said, “Yeah everything is great, I wanted to come by and ask if I could take you out on a date sometime next week.” She looked shocked, but said "Yes of course!"

Liz: May 6th at 9pm Daniel was the last person I expected to see a text from, let alone him asking if he could stop by my house that night. My heart rate was through the roof as I was trying to think of all the reasons why he wanted to come over. I don’t remember the details of the conversation as I blacked out but I was left filled with joy and giddiness over the idea of going on a date with Dan. I had previously contemplated the idea of dating Daniel as he so clearly loves the Lord, is kind to everyone he is around, and enjoys similar activities. I was doubtful it would ever happen because he is so, so good, and I did not think I’d ever be lucky enough to hold his attention.
