We met through mutual friends in April of 2021, and we clicked almost instantly! A few weeks later we went to senior prom together, and had a blast! Shortly after, I spent my summer working at a Church camp in Michigan and I was only home for a few weeks at the end of the summer before college started. We continued to grow closer despite the distance between us. We have had endless FaceTime calls, text messages, weekend trips to see each other, and even meeting halfway to grab dinner on the weekends! Throughout the distance we've had while going to separate colleges, God has been in the center and we are so grateful! Eli popped the question on July 3, 2023 and we can not wait to get married almost exactly a year later on July 6, 2024!
