Nathan moved to Texas all the way from Oceanside, California to play football at Houston Baptist University. However, even though football was how God got him to the great state of Texas, it was minuscule to what the Lord really had in store for him. Just a short time later, he swiped right on a girl named Ellie. After just a short time of getting to know her, it was more than evident that she was, and continues to be, the most amazing, beautiful, and Godly woman Nathan had ever met. (Nathan here!) Ellie couldn't believe that she had found a man like Nathan. After years of telling her family she was going to marry a Christian, division 1 athlete, it looked like it may come true! Nathan lead the relationship as Christ would. He loved, respected, and cherished her. He never failed to make sure she knew the love the Lord has for her. She had found her giant teddy bear! After countless prayers and days spent laughing together, Nathan made it official and popped the question at her grandparent's farm in front of her friends and family. We are so overjoyed to be married and to become one under the eyes of the Lord. We praise God for the miraculous work of bringing us together and guiding our relationship to where it is now. God, thank you. Thank you so much. -Ellie and Nathan
