Jackson and I met in college and had an instant connection. We had so much fun together, but the timing was not right for either of us. As much as we wanted to make it work, we were not yet spiritually mature enough.

When we parted ways, we both ended up attending the same church separately, both seeking to grow spiritually. We spent time in our own faith journeys at Auburn Community Church- finding community, reshaping our lives, and diving into a deeper relationship with the Lord.

After 21 days of prayer and fasting in 2024, it became obvious to Jackson and me that the Lord intended for us to be together. Jackson asked me to be his girlfriend, and we have been together ever since!

On October 18th, 2025, Jackson asked me to marry him. The Lord smiled so clearly on the entire day, as he granted us both peace and reminded us of our amazing community. What a gift it has been to go through this season together!
