Nathan and Lindsey met through a mutual friend in January while Lindsey was home for visa purposes. They began talking and Lindsey called off their first date because her brothers (and nephew) came into town to go to the Aquarium last minute. Nathan was persistent despite Lindsey's stubbornness that sometimes meant long periods of time between answering messages. Lindsey ended up heading back to South Africa at the end of January and they decided they would see what happened...

What they both thought would fizzle out turned into hours spent on Facetime calls and numerous text messages exchanged daily. They were both cautiously optimistic as they continued getting to know one another and praying for discernment in their relationship. As time went on and they grew closer, the distance felt further away.

Fast forward several months to May and they were finally able to continue building their relationship in person. They soaked up each moment of the weekends and turned many of them into long weekends! Although the 90 mile drive between them was a lot shorter than Ohio to South Africa, it still felt long many weeks.

Nathan proposed at a lake in Ohio in June after Lindsey returned from a work trip. They are excited to see where the Lord leads them and are soaking the time together and memories made.

Nathan always said that life wouldn't be boring together and that statement has been so true throughout their story. Life will be full of adventures and they are excited to walk through it together.
