Rebecca's POV:

As I was concluding my fall semester of my senior year, I received a direct message on Instagram from Darren Rogers inquiring about the University of Alabama. At that time, I was serving as a Student Alumni Ambassador, responsible for guiding prospective students on tours of the university and discussing the various opportunities it offers. I was eager and prepared to answer all of his questions! (In typical Rebecca fashion, I was oblivious to the underlying flirts.)

Initially, I attempted to connect him with other LHS alumni who were currently studying at the university and might have had majors related to his interests, but he continued to reach out to me. Eventually, I recognized some of the flirtation in his messages, I was feeling all kinds of things: shock...excitement!, especially considering that this was THEE Darren Rogers from LHS reaching out to me.

On the night he asked for my phone number, I happened to be attending adoration at St. Francis of Assisi. During that time, I prayed for guidance, contemplating whether keep things in the friendzone or to continue the conversation and explore where it might lead. Upon leaving adoration, I felt inspired to keep communicating with him. Ultimately, this proved to be one of my best decisions I have ever made! Fast forward almost a year later...I get to marry my best friend! : )

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
