We met one Sunday in September of 2022 when Justin happened to sit next to Miranda on his first day visiting a new church. Noticing his "new guest" gift bag, Miranda felt compelled to strike up a conversation and invite him to her weekly small group study. The next day, the two also matched on Hinge, a dating app neither had experienced much success with previously. Laughing it off as an odd coincidence, neither pursued anything further from that match at the time. Over the next few months, the two quickly became friends and would spend multiple hours talking outside their cars after church, small group, or outings with mutual friends. The two bonded over a variety of common interests including board games, books, the outdoors, movies, and Miranda's dog Amelia (to name a few). On March 14, 2023 Justin finally worked up the courage (with the help of a few mutual friends) to ask Miranda out on a date. They went to a local mini golf course, "Cool Crest", and the rest was history. One outing turned into a multitude of dinners, outings, and trips. They even took Miranda's youngest brother on a week-long RV camping trip through West Texas and New Mexico! Justin and Miranda also continued to foster a relationship built on faith, taking on individual roles serving in their church's children's ministry and hosting young adult Bible studies at their respective residences. Through this, the two knew that it was God, not coincidence, that had brought them together that day back in 2022. Justin proposed on April 13, 2024 atop a scenic overlook at Government Canyon, one of their favorite local hiking spots. They will be getting married in September 2024 atop yet another scenic overlook, this time accompanied by their families in beautiful Colorado.
