2020-2023

Ah. The college years. Luke and Emma continued to date throughout all of college. Luke rushed BYX, and Emma was a Pi Phi. Both of them led cell groups with Fellowship Bentonville and gave their Wednesday nights to care for the next generation of believers. Many memories came from these years. One would have to be the best anniversary they ever had. It was 2021, and they were celebrating 4 years together. Luke and Emma went to the Buffalo River in the morning to explore and get quality time together. After lunch, they headed back to Fayetteville to change and go to the Arkansas Texas football game. They happened to get the best seats, sitting next to both Emma and Luke's friends. After a Hog victory, they rushed the field alongside their friends and classmates. It was epic. While we are on the topic of Arkansas sports, Emma and Luke also loved going to basketball games together. They would get up at 5am to go stand in line, they would annually dress up in Shark costumes, and they met up for a hug and a picture on the court after Arkansas beat #1 ranked Auburn. That was epic too. Luke and Emma, alongside her parents, also got to see some incredible football games when going to watch the Chiefs play. They both love cheering on the Chiefs, even though Luke's number one team will always be the Cowboys. Luke and Emma spent many hours at her house hanging out with her roommates. There were 7 of them, so sometimes they had no choice. They loved being with them while making Crumbl runs, watching movies, and sometimes playing in the snow. Occasionally Luke's friends would come over too to play games, or once to surprise Luke for his 20th birthday. Luke and Emma traveled together to Nashville, San Antonio, and Chicago for BYX formal. They ate great food, danced their hearts out, and made memories with lifelong friends.
