Erik and I met at the local grocery store (where he was working at the time) when I was 15 years old and he was 16.We went to different schools, but we were introduced by a mutual friend. 

Our first date was July 4, 2006. Erik came and picked me up and we went to watch the fireworks show in Oak Ridge, TN. Afterwards,he took me on a romantic dinner date to Waffle House :)

Erik went off to college and I stayed finishing my senior year of high school. Time went on and we always seemed to stay in touch. One evening Erik showed up at my door after not seeing each other for several months, and it was history after that...

We have stuck beside each other through all of life's ups and downs and our love continues to grow.

The Lord's timing is perfect.
