In 7th grade, Austin transferred to Evergreen Middle School and where Hannah attended school. They had English class together and chatted a few times.
As years went on, they attended the same High school and grew in their friendship. Staying up all night talking on the phone and hanging out after school. Junior year Austin went to school online and Hannah went to cosmetology school. The path between them had split for a time being.
Toward the end of senior year, Austin reached out to Hannah and the connection between them sparked immediately. They started hanging out and Austin asked Hannah out after a week of reconnecting. Everything felt like it was falling into place.
A week later, the world went into lockdown and these two were just inseparable. Hannah would go over and do puzzles with Austin and his parents, watch full marathons of movies like, Harry Potter, the Avengers, and Star Wars. After 3 months, Hannah basically had moved in and was a part of Austin’s family.
As the years together went on, Austin and Hannah were planning on renovating a 1973 camper van. It took a year of removing old wiring and adding new wiring, painting the inside and outside, and lots of mechanical work to get the camper ready for their first trip to Idaho with Austin’s family following along behind us. It was a two day drive and day one was going smoothly with some minor issues. Day two of the drive, was when their world flipped up side down, Literally.
The back tire blew and the camper that Austin and Hannah had made into their home, was completely destroyed. The camper spun and flipped over. The whole living area of the camper was demolished but the cab of the van, was completely intact. The front windshield had come off from the impact, but it was a doorway for Austin and Hannah to get out. Most would not believe it, but these two were untouched. God was with these two on that day. And from that moment on, Austin and Hannah have given themselves to God.
Austin and Hannah moved into an apartment two weeks later, started attending church, and reading Gods word. They knew in their hearts that they were meant to be married, joined by God to be with each other until the end of time.
