How we met:
After my high school relationship ended in January 2009, I was praying for God to bring a man into my life that would be a good husband. I was spending most of my nights sitting in my dorm studying anatomy and physiology. My roommate eventually persuaded me to go over to her boyfriend's apartment to meet his roommate (Will) who also just ended his high school relationship that same week. She described him as "the perfect man for me" so I was interested in meeting this guy! I met Will January 18th 2009 and told my roommate that same night that he was who I was going to marry. He, on the other hand, had no interest in dating anyone! It took a few weeks of us hanging out before we realized how much we had in common and we were falling hard for each other. Will and I get a laugh about how we met, but we know that it was in God's plan for us to meet and fall in love.
