Well, we almost met two and a half years before we actually did. You see, Katelin was working at the Aquatic Center where Isaac's parents worked out. Isaac's dad thought Katelin and Isaac would make a good couple, that is, until he found out Katelin had just started dating someone...so Katelin and Isaac never met. Fast forward a couple years, Katelin made friends with a barista (Jadah) at a local coffee shop. Through conversation, Katelin realized that she knew Jadah's boyfriend's family. Katelin told the story about Isaac's dad trying to set them up. Jadah got excited and thought it was a great idea. Multiple people got involved in the setup before Isaac ever knew anything was in the works. Katelin and Isaac decided quickly they would like to meet. So, while Katelin was spending the weekend hiking with her sister and her sister's fiancee, Katelin carved out a few hours to meet Isaac in Boone at Local Lion. At the time, Katelin didn't keep up with App football (only Georgia), so she didn't realize that she made him miss the WHOLE game! At the end of the date, they both knew they wanted to see each other again and made plans for a 2nd date. Many dates and fun adventures happened in the weeks and months that followed. Some of the highlights include hiking, beach trips, days on the river, serving the Lord through missions, hanging out with friends, and drinking lots of good coffee! On January 22nd, Katelin was having a bad day after a long week, but Isaac knew Katelin's day would get much better if he could just get her up the mountain for another adventure. They took a snowy backroad to the parkway and made it out to a frozen Price Lake. After a hike, they sat down and watched the Lord paint a beautiful sunset before Isaac got down on one knee and asked Katelin to marry him. In the long run, whether it's the Heavenly father and His perfect timing or Isaac's earthly father and sensing the connection, the saying "Father know best" certainly applies in our story.
