While 2020 has been a year of many hardships, there have been some equally amazing blessings that have shone through the chaos. You'll never guess when we met...That's right, the summer of a worldwide pandemic! Shortly after COVID-19 turned the world upside-down, God struck us both with a tangible taste of His love. We met at a park in May playing spikeball. Jonathan, more commonly referred to as Choi, found himself a part of a new friend group that is, quite frankly, probably too obsessed with this outdoor game. Eventually, he invited the spikeball crew to join his Thursday night Bible study that he led. Through all-day spikeball tournaments, nights spent in the Cookout parking lot, and evenings digging into scripture, our group's friendship deepened. It wasn't until Jonathan invited the Bible study group to go on a sunrise hike that we finally spent some time one-on-one. No one else thought waking up at 4:30 A.M. sounded like a fun thing to do...weird!!! Cliché as it is, it only took a mere matter of hours hiking to see God's plan behind all the events of the summer. Our similar foundation of values, beliefs, interests, family, and everything in between was not a coincidence. Weekly sunrise hikes became our routine, and our liking for each other grew stronger with each one. We officially started dating in September, and, despite our futile efforts to slow the trajectory of our relationship, we both knew the dating stage wouldn't last long. Sure enough, Jonathan proposed on December 28, 2020! We have spent each day since savoring the sweetness of the present while anticipating the moment we begin our future together as Mr. and Mrs. Choi in May!
