I (Kaitlyn) had set out on a mission to complete PA school without any thoughts of a relationship when little did I know that God had other plans. During the summer of my senior year at Mississippi State University, my Aunt Lee called me to tell me that she had ran into a family in her hometown they had known for a while, and she had just mentioned my name to their son, Darrell. She went on and on about how he "is very good looking and a good, christian guy". From there, he messaged me, we began talking, and about a week later we hung out. After many nights, I had a feeling, even though I was trying hard to be stubborn and fighting it, that he was gonna be sticking around for the long haul. From the beginning, he supported my dreams of PA school, encouraged me to keep going, and still is letting me chase my dream. Long story short, a little over a year after meeting, on July 6, 2024, he proposed on my sister and brother-in-law's land, which used to be my great-grandparent's place. Darrell was an answered prayer, and still is the greatest thing that could have came along. Although I thought it was all the wrong timing, the Lord has proved over and over that He sent Darrell at just the right time. Now, we cannot wait to get married and start our forever at the same place on September, 14, 2024. Our story is just beginning, and we can't wait to celebrate this next step and see what is in store next!
