Welcome to our wedding blog (which might turn into a non-wedding blog at some future time)! We're so glad you're here. Please explore and feel free to leave encouraging comments. Most of you already know about us and how we met, but I thought I would give a recap for the record, and for those of you who might not know.I believe every aspect of our love story bears the handwriting of God and testifies to His sovereignty. We first met at a game night at our friends (the Finnegans) house in the Summer of 2008. I (Rebecca) remember going home and thinking what a nice guy Quinn was and how wonderful it was that he wasn't an English nerd (no offense to my friends who are-- I don't know what I'd do without you!). However, I promptly put any thoughts of Quinn out of my mind and concluded that he was just a nice Summer student whom I probably wouldn't see again. During that fall we were both living in Los Alamos and attended a young adults weekly dinner group. I remember one week talking with him and saying something along the lines of "I don't think we've met before..." but Quinn responded that he thought we had. I enjoyed getting to know him as a friend in a group setting, but that was about it. When I moved to Albuquerque in January for school, I thought it was highly possible that I would, again, never see him again.
However, God had other plans. Once in Albuquerque, we started communicating over Facebook. I particularly remember being lonely sometimes on Sunday afternoons and getting on chat and talking with Quinn about the weekend and church etc. Again, I was very busy with classes and wasn't really thinking anything about it. But, Quinn had my phone number from a group hiking trip, and once I got a missed call from him-- that was curious. At the beginning of March, due to some providential car problems, I ended up picking him up from the airport and we hung out for a few hours. I think that was the first time that I decidedly decided that I really liked him as more than just a friend. After another airport pick-up and an ever increasing amount of Facebook private messages we started seeing each other every weekend, and then after Easter at my parents house Quinn asked me what my thoughts were on intentionally dating with a tentative goal of marriage. I was elated!!
Easter 2009On September 18, 2009 I picked Quinn up from the Albuquerque airport, and this time was by far the best. Before we left the airport, in the most creative and perfect way, he had asked me to be his wife!! I was only too happy to oblige :)
And now you know! May 29th simply cannot come soon enough, and we very much look forward to having you witness our marriage and celebrate with us the wonderful works which God has done.
