Our love story began in Star, Idaho this past Summer. Isaac had just gotten back from basic training, and I(Bella) had just moved to Idaho to start interning at Calvary Chapel Star. Over the Summer, we became friends and started to get to know each other. As some of you know, we had actually known each other briefly in high school ministry at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, where Isaac had asked me out at 15 years old to go duck hunting. To Isaac's displeasure, I said no, but God's timing is perfect and our love story is a true embodiment of God's complete and perfect will. After lots of prayer, Isaac asked me out on our first date on August 5th, 2024. In all ways our first date was an epic fail, and yet we felt God continuing to call us together. We continued to go out and made it official in September.

God is so faithful and He continued to confirm our relationship through many different ways and people. On December 17th, Isaac proposed in a tunnel of lights in Eagle Idaho. My parents flew out to surprise me and Isaac's family was also there with some of our friends. I was truly shocked and surprised, which if you know me that was not an easy thing for Isaac to accomplish.

God continues to confirm this relationship and is continuing to provide and make things work in His timeline! We are so excited to start our lives together in Idaho built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Our story seems quick to most, but it has truly been in God's perfect timing for us!
