Our story, Caleb and mine, is all thanks to Jesus and friends who listen to His voice. My manager at the time was on maternity leave, so I went to Atlanta for a client photoshoot to fill in for her. While at the photo shoot, my work best friend (thank you Abany) mentioned I was single to everyone on set. Later the photographer (thank you Mary Claire) asked if I was interested in being set up.

I acted in true form, asking if the guy she had in mind loved Jesus and if Mary Claire would be upset if I didn’t like him. She told me that he did love Jesus and that she wouldn’t care if I wasn’t interested. I agreed that she could pass along my number and the rest is history.

It turns out Mary Claire’s boyfriend was best friends with Caleb. Both Caleb and I say that from our first date at Adele’s, we felt like we had known each other a long time. Caleb will tell you that he heard the Lord’s voice before our date that it would be his last first date. It took me a little longer, but Caleb’s steadfast love and pursuit carried us until I got the “yes” I was waiting for from the Lord. God has been in every detail of our lives apart from each other and continues to remind us that it was His idea to bring us together.
