It takes courage and no small amount of faith to move across the country to chase your dreams — to leave home and the known behind for the exciting and hopeful horizon ahead. Little did Allie know when she left for LA, she would find more than just a wonderful new chapter in her teaching career, she would meet the man she would say yes to a lifetime of adventures and growth with.

If you’ve heard us talk about these two at all, you know that they are one of our favorites for a lot of reasons but their story is hands down one of those that makes you stop and realize that there really is something much greater at work in this world than just ourselves. These two grew up just minutes away from each other, went to the same music festivals as kids, most likely crossed paths a handful of times, but it took moving to one of the largest cities in the world to finally meet. 

Aside from having one beautiful story of “lost and found” these two beautifully reflect the true face of Christ in all that they say and do. Watching them get to celebrate their devotion and commitment to one another this summer, with all of their family and friends gathered together was a blessing to our entire team!   

We’ll be huge fans of these two and their story forever,  and we are just so thankful to have shared the beginning of this new chapter with them. Sending all our love and good vibes now and always to the coolest and kindest couple the West Coast has ever known!
