You might think it was in their cozy cul-de-sac, being neighbors and all. But actually, God had other plans—and it happened in 2022, in the bustling Streets of Southpoint! Their story truly began in 2024, though. When they look back, Grant laughs and refers to “the Food Court” with a special fondness, while Avia jokes about “Spotify” in a driveway, keeping the memory light-hearted and fun. From then on, long-distance became their new normal, with frequent travel, countless FaceTime calls, and a lot of creativity to strengthen their connection. What do they love doing together? Simple things, but meaningful: experimenting with new recipes for each other, sharing long car rides with great music, and savoring every moment they’re together. Now, Grant forecasts the weather (with a splash of local reporting) as a Meteorologist/Reporter in Virginia, while Avia is completing her Doctorate of Optometry and has recently accepted a position in his city. They’re thrilled to start their married life in Harrisonburg, Virginia, ready to take on these early years as young professionals and newlyweds, taking on life side by side.
