Our story started by growing up a few streets over from each other in Cypress and attending elementary and middle school together... but we didnt become friends until the summer of 2020.


We both grew up going to T Bar M as campers and went on to be apart of staff as work crew, coaches, leadership, and a year long discipleship program called Timothy Team. God was writing our story long before we knew each other through how he used T Bar M in both of our lives to solidify our foundation of the gospel for multiple years before He brought us together.


While working on the same leadership team in Summer 2021, Ray started to get what we call a camp crush but the Lord had other plans for him to practice his patience. When we both became full time staff at T Bar M after the summer, Grace started to have a case of the good ole camp crush and we started pursuing each other shortly after.


Our first date was October 23, 2021 and we became official on November 1. Through our time dating, God taught us a ton about what it looks like to selflessly love the other person like Christ and what it looks like to pursue each other and our community around us in different seasons of life. In the Lord’s kindness, we got engaged on September 25, 2022 and it was the happiest day of our lives thus far. We truly would not be here without all the people in our corner who walked through dating with us and who continue to encourage us throughout engagement.


We love you all dearly and we are so excited to celebrate with yall!!!
