We were both at our first College Conference in the year 2013, when we ran into each other. While doors were opened for each other, there was a brief exchange, and Michael mentioned "we should be friends." Ever since it's felt like we've continued one long conversation that hasn't ended. We had plenty of mutual friends and mutual service trips, where we got to know each other better after that. They say time will tell, and certainly, time did tell... as many believed we would eventually date, we came around to it in the middle of 2016. We've managed to keep the distance a small barrier, as we learned to maneuver 198 miles / 319 km apart, but together, we also learned plenty about ourselves in the meantime. It's been a beautiful journey with each other, and we are really excited to start the next chapter alongside each other! Love, Hanan & Michael
