We grew up together at First Free Church, but really met each other while serving as leaders in the youth group. During a retreat in 2020, we shared our first conversation alone, and within a few months, we were dating. We shared a great first year together, even though Covid tried its best to keep us apart! Though we enrolled in different colleges, we decided to try long distance. The past three years have been a blessing, as we've grown closer, even with 600 miles between us. Visits and phone calls have helped us along, but we can't wait to be together. We got engaged at Queeny Park in May 2024, the same place we went on our first date! Since our engagement, the Lord has worked in our lives to prepare us for marriage, bringing us wise counsel and like minded peers. We are counting down the days to our wedding and we can't wait to share the day with all of our favorite people.
