In September of 2023 both Thomas and Keegan joined a Life Group through the Stirring church in Redding, CA. Thomas had just returned to the Redding local area after serving ten years in the Navy. Keegan had been living locally in the Redding area for the past six years after moving from Anchorage, Alaska down for ministry school through Bethel.

Every Thursday night for several months they would connect with others in this community of believers and started building a friendship with each other and others over the months to follow. In January 2024 Thomas and Keegan started going for walks and enjoyed continuing to build a friendship and connection. In April of 2024 Thomas expressed interest in Keegan and seeing if they could date with the goal of marriage. For the months to follow they grew in connection and love for each other within their community of friends and family. In December 2024, Thomas traveled up to Anchorage Alaska for the holidays and on Christmas Eve proposed to Keegan!

Thomas and Keegan are excited to share this special day with their friends and family and are greatly thankful to have the covering, support, and love as they begin this adventure.
