Connect How did your love story begin?

Andrew and I met online in January 2017 and quickly became close friends. What started with simple conversations turned into a deep connection built on trust, laughter, and shared values. We began dating that July and were married in March 2019. From the very beginning, we knew our relationship was different because our friendship and our faith. It’s still the foundation of our marriage today.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

When Andrew asked to adopt my two oldest boys. It was the happiest day of our lives. I remember the day we created a photo album of memories and at the end is a written paragraph expressing his love for them - he asked the boys if they would take his last name and they signed the bottom. Truly a magical moment. He was their DAD in their eyes. There is nothing greater than seeing how God moves in ways you never expect.

What would you do with $20,000?

We are in the process of adopting right now. We finished our homestudy and are finishing our profile. $20,000 would allow us to proceed with the adoption financially. It would allow us to bring another child into our home - to love, to guide, to protect, to grow!! This would be such an incredible blessing. I had 6 losses after my last son - and had to have a medically necessary hysterectomy. We prayed for 6 years and GOD is opening the doors for us to adopt. THIS is our greatest ministry.
