"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love." - Henry Drummond
Xavier and Clara met while they were both enjoying the adventures of life. Not seeking or knowing what God had planned for them in their future, they took the opportunity of meeting each other casually.
Xavier was doing what he loved most which was being with his family and friends, while Clara was doing what she chose to do which was work and go to school.
While Clara was working Xavier noticed her and continually made subtle hellos and goodbye's to show his new striking interest. In a new atmosphere outside of Clara's work, Clara was celebrating a birthday with a friend, and Xavier was mingling with his friends as they spontaneously noticed each other across the way while Clara was leaving.
Shortly after the evening, Clara and Xavier went to both settle some hunger with San Antonio's delicious tacos, and they spontaneously ran into each other again at the same place and time. Xavier asked Clara for her number and they took off on a journey they both loved.
Movie dates, hanging out with friends, Austin trips and BBQ's with family, concerts, days on the lake, football, baseball, basketball, and soccer games, became a huge part of the start of their journey.
Xavier was presented with a job opportunity in Dallas that he knew would benefit his future. Knowing family and friends would always be there, Xavier's main concern was if Clara would still be there, for she had just started nursing school.
After a year of long distance through traveling back and fourth at least once a month if not twice, together they really grew strong and established a solid foundation that was progressively moving forward into something even greater.
