We first met in the summer at church at a 20+ event (that Shanna had to be talked into going to). At the beginning of the event, there was an awkward ice-breaker activity, where everyone had different color wrist bands and had to talk to someone with their same color band about a certain topic. We basically walked into each other and sparked up a conversation about the topic given. Given the rounds of the activity were quick, our interaction was only a few minutes.

After the event, Shanna's close friend Steph asked if she met anyone at the event that might've caught her eye. She mentioned Neehmias, and investigations began. :) Steph assigned her husband Matt to find and befriend him. It almost wasn't needed, because at the next Remnant night (Awakening Church's men's ministry), God aligned them and they just so happen to sit right next to each other and met. Throughout the next several weeks, we didn't see each other again around church. Neehmias was able to get connected to other men in the church, develop new friendships, and dive into serving in the men's Workforce (construction crew that meets weekly to help renovate the church). During that time, Matt began leading a co-ed running crew with his wife Steph, that he invited Neehmias to. Steph had been plotting with Shanna to get her there too.

We both have been living independently for quite some time, so we really have all the necessities. If you'd still like to give us a gift, we would love to put it towards a future home. :)
