The first time I remember seeing Davy.... I really didn't pay all that much attention to him. We were at a family friends party and we didn't interact a whole lot. Then, he left Michigan for a few years and lived in North Dakota. During that time I basically forgot about his existence.

A year or so went by, and at the end of 2022, Davy and his family moved back to MI. I remember noticing him more and more as he started showing up at the same things that I would go to, like youth group, retreats, parties, ministry, etc.

There was one particular day in the middle of my junior year of high school when I was on the FUEL ministry team at Christ the King. He randomly came up to me and introduced himself, and I was definitely thinking something along the lines of "oh boy, he's cute".

Fast forward a few weeks to March, 2023 and we both showed up to a swing dance. He struck up a conversation with me, and we basically talked and danced the whole night. That was when I started to really like him, and I definitely noticed him a heck of a lot more. We liked each other for a really long time and would "coincidentally" go to all the same events and hang out with all the same people. At the beginning of our senior year, it was very clear to both of us that we were perfect for each other. It came to a point where I was just waiting for him to make a move, until FINALLY, in October 2023, he asked me out on a date in our church parking lot. We went on a few dates and were quickly realizing that, we were in fact, perfect for each other. Shortly after that we became official, and the rest is history ;)
