Josh and Juli met for the very first time in 2011 while at Texas Tech University. Josh was a sophomore and Juli was just a freshman. They met by chance when Juli and her friend were visiting some other friends in an all-male dorm. While bored and wanting something to do, Juli and her friend began knocking on different doors introducing themselves to whoever answered. Unbeknownst to her, she would be knocking on the door of her future husband.

As Juli and her friend were knocking on doors, Josh opened his door annoyed as to why two young girls were interrupting him and his friend in whatever they were doing. Juli and her friend quickly introduced themselves and started small talk. They somehow got onto the conversation of teeth and smiles which Josh told Juli that she had a "really really nice smile". Juli blushed and minutes later the conversation was over and they all went about their days.

Throughout the remainder of their time in college, Josh and Juli were what you would consider acquaintances. They had several mutual friends and would see each other occasionally and would always have pleasant but short conversations. Nothing more or less since at the time Juli was in a relationship.

5 years later after their first time meeting, Josh and Juli reconnected on social media. After communicating on and off throughout the year, Josh took a chance and asked Juli out on a date. She said yes of course, but would later "stand him up" as Josh would say on their very first date.

You would think after that there was no way we'd end up here talking about "their story" before getting married, however, God had different plans for them.

The following year in 2017, they reconnected again and made plans for a second attempt at a first date during SuperBowl weekend in Houston. This time Josh insisted on picking her up just in case there was a chance she would repeat history and stand him up again.

On Friday, February 3rd Josh picked up Juli for their first date which was a night of many firsts for them both. What turned into a single date on Friday turned out to a weekend full of dates, laughter, and a win for Tom Brady haha. After that weekend you could say the rest was history.

A short month later on March 31st Josh officially asked Juli to be his girlfriend. Then after 9 months of dating, they found out they were pregnant with their baby girl Jordy who was born the following year in 2018.

These almost 4 years of dating have been life-changing for both of them. They not only were learning about each other, but they were also learning how to be parents for the first time. Now as they approach their 4 year anniversary they will become one as they were always destined to be from that very first knock in college.
