Flash forward to 2022, and so much had happened in both of our lives! After I had lived out of state for my job for many years, and Nathan had lived on the Texas border for his, we both moved back to Austin, TX to be closer to home! We had completely lost touch with both each other, and each other's families, and had honestly completely forgotten about each other.

By a very God orchestrated moment (because there is just no way this could have happened by chance!), I went out to lunch with the pastor, and his wife, of Oak Hill Primitive Baptist Church. While there, they happened to notice that Nathan and his parents were sitting in the booth behind where we were sitting. They went over and said hi, and Nathan and I ended up talking a bit at the restaurant. Within that next week, Nathan had found me on LinkedIn (I still laugh that he reached out over LinkedIn haha!), and he asked if I would like to get together to catch-up sometime. Flash forward to December 2nd, 2023, and Nathan surprised me in the morning when he proposed to me with my favorite thing, a cup of coffee haha!
