their Story

We met at the Baptist Student Foundation on campus the spring of our sophomore year. Nathan finally asked Molly to dinner and then Molly invited Nathan to a concert. And then the rest is history, we guess.

   

After a fabulous year and some odd months together, Molly moved to Virginia for a summer practicum. Apparently distance makes the heart grow fonder, so Nathan flew to Virginia at the end of the summer. Just expecting a happy reunion, Molly was shocked when Nathan gave her his grandmother's engagement ring and asked her to marry him. Being a bit of a spazz, Molly "kinda-sorta" forgot to say yes, but finally figured it out. The rest of the week was spent traipsing about Virginia before coming back to Indiana.

   

We love to hang out and have relaxing fun. So far, nothing in our relationship is boring, as we like to talk about Jesus, watch movies, listen to music, play card & board games, go on long walks, share thoughts on books and generally share a good natured laugh. Occasionally, Nathan can convince Molly to play video games. Occasionally.
