Story
More than ten years ago - we each had families and we were neighbors. We spent the next couple of years with our respective families creating memories and history together - cheering each other on to love and good deeds. Through the years we stayed in touch as friends, sharing prayer requests, joys and sorrows, and watching the kids grow up. Through the hard and through the growth - we always knew we could lean on each others’ friendship and faith.
In November 2021 - we shared the same Facebook status . . . “Single”! Mike invited me to join him for an evening to reconnect and this began a new chapter in our relationship!
Tidbits
Who made the first move? How?
After that initial reconnecting in November . . . We continued what we had always done - sharing music we liked, sermons and crazy pictures of the moon. After a few months - Mike asked in a text if I’d like to go to Top Golf with him. I dropped my phone like a hot cake and said out loud - “Oh my gosh - I think Micheal Frank just asked me out on a date!!!” A couple months later - we did go to Top Golf and had a blast.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Well that would have to be our trip last April to Kansas City to celebrate Mike’s Uncle Ken and Aunt Diane’s 65th Anniversary on the 22nd and then Mike surprised me by purposing the next day surrounded by his family - It was incredible!

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is in the Chapel. Our reception will be inside with access to fun outside under a covered patio.
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Calling all ladies! Do not wear stiletto heels. I repeat, do not wear stiletto heels. There are a bunch of grassy areas that you might have to walk in so wear chunky heels or sandals. Can't have any of you ruining nice shoes or breaking any ankles.
