our little bit of a long story

Since this is our first blog as a couple, it seems fitting to share a little of our story!  We are currently living in Los Angeles, CA where we serve at The Los Angeles Dream Center.  Anthony came out to LA 2 and a half years ago and I have been out here a year this week! Just two months ago we had a beautiful June wedding in Memphis with all of our family and close friends but our journey started long before that!
Anthony and I met in 2006 during the fall of my second year of college and his third year of Memphis Masters Commission. We both were greatly focused on building student ministries at the time and just living for God. We became friends and spent many Monday afternoons sitting in the comfy chairs of Starbucks talking away with Pumpkin Spice Lattes in hand. As it grew colder outside, and Starbucks filled with smell of  it’s Christmas blend our friendship grew stronger and we became a couple on January 16th.
Fast forward:
17 months of a long distance relationship
two albums recorded
my Bachelor’s degree finished
my first teaching job
a beautiful engagement
a pup
and a wedding
….we’re realizing our adventure has just begun!
We are just two people with a heart to live a life of love for God and to point others to Him. Whether that be through music, through words, every part, but mostly through our lives. No matter what He asks, no matter the cost!
