Our Love Story
Alyssa was living in Jackson, MS dancing and touring with a ballet company when Jon moved to California (where Alyssa is originally from) after college. He met Alyssa’s family through a mutual friend, and eventually met Alyssa when she was home on break. Jon was immediately attracted to her composure, beauty, and secure identity in Jesus. Jon was able to convince Alyssa to move home. We were engaged for 3 months and married 3 months later. I (Alyssa) was attracted to his confidence, his looks, and his love of Jesus. I knew that if I married Jon, I would feel secure and cared for the rest of my life.
We have a large community of family and friends. Alyssa’s parents and three of her siblings families are local, in addition to cousins, aunts, uncles and 2nd cousins. We have 24 nieces and nephews between us. We value spending time with friends who have children of all ages. We do beach days, park days, dinners over, and even vacation together.
