Our story starts back in 6th grade when Jessie came to Faith Christian School. I didn't notice her too much in middle school and payed more attention to her best friends. But lucky for me, Jessie was always close by no matter what.

Flash forward to the summer before junior year of high school, Jessie and I went on the SLU 301 trip to Europe. This is when our friendship and love truly started. Going to Paris, the city of love, was amazing, although my favorite memories were near the water in Monterosso, Italy. While we were there, my hotel room was directly below Jessie's. I remember sticking my head out of the window, looking up and yelling to Jessie's window. She stuck her head out, looked down and dropped chocolates that the hotel provided into my mouth from the story above. It is a memory I will never forget.

We went on a few dates and thoroughly enjoyed each other's time no matter what we were doing. We officially started dating August of 2018. After high-school, Jessie went off to the University of Arkansas, and I went to A&M. After 4 years of long distance dating, we have learned so many lessons and grown closer together. I truly believe we can conquer anything!

I couldn't wait to be in the same city as Jessie. So in Miami during May of 2023, I asked Jessie to marry me, and she said "yes"! We completed Merge at Watermark Church this past summer, and we're ready to step into our new season of life together. Awaiting whatever the Lord has in store for our future. Thank you for being a part of it!
