Jesse and I met through a bible study group at Church of the Pines in Tyler, Texas while I was completing my schooling at UT-Tyler. At the time we were on different paths, only interacting briefly as acquaintances. It wasn't until December 29th of 2022 when Jesse got into a serious car accident that almost cost him his life that we began our journey together. I messaged him after I found out about his car accident and we began to talk over the phone and text from there. When I returned from Katy to Tyler in January, we spent more time together and got to know each other more until we finally began dating on February 5, 2023. We took the relationship seriously from the beginning, knowing that the ultimate goal was to see if marriage was right for us. Within three months we decided we wanted to get married and Jesse began planning the engagement. We were engaged July 22, 2023 and we have been planning our future together ever since! We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us in our journey together and we look forward to having continued relationships with each of you as we start our forever together!
