Forest and I met in the Kids Ministry at our church in June of 2021. I served in the Nursery/Preschool room and Forest served in the Elementary room. Even though we had both attended this church for almost a year, we had never seen each other.

The Sunday we met, the nursery was short on volunteers so both Forest and I were called in to help. I walked in to Forest rocking the Worship Pastor's son and I quickly developed a crush. Although, I truly never thought anything would come of it. Many prayers and three months later, I made the move to ask Forest to lunch. We grabbed sushi downtown and our date lasted almost 5 hours! Afterwards, Forest texted me and said that we had stayed so long at the sushi restaurant we could've grabbed dinner after. He then said that would be our second date. I was very excited to say the least. I then FaceTimed my sister, Kenzie, in disbelief that my crush might be something more.

Many memories passed and the next important date lands on April 21st. One Friday, Forest and Blue (my dog) picked me up from work and we went for walk, which was not unusual. We walked up a small incline that overlooked the City of Boise. Once reaching the top, Forest embraced me in a hug and began to pray. After the hug, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I thought he was kidding and immediately started to look around for my sister, because I knew if this was the real deal, she would be there. Lo and behold, there was Kenzie behind a bush taking photos. I kept repeating "are you serious!" & "what are you doing!?". I of course said yes.

Now, we are here, getting married!! We cannot wait to celebrate this day before the Lord as all of our family and close friends witness.
