It all began in the summer of 2020, amidst the uncertainty of a world on pause. In the heart of Mt. Ida, Arkansas, a secluded pocket of normalcy still existed within the bustling grounds of Camp Ozark. There, as counselors, we were brought together by mutual friends. It was a chance meeting at a time when serendipity was in short supply, and we both recognized a glimmer of something special right away.

The pandemic was a difficult time for everyone, but for us, it created a bubble where our connection could thrive, free from the distractions of the outside world.

The passage of time did little to fade our bond. Over the years, we returned to Camp Ozark, adding new chapters to our story. Our relationship grew stronger during those treasured months of working side-by-side. The real test came when school resumed, and we were forced to navigate the miles of a long-distance relationship. The memories from camp became our anchors, a reminder of the special place where our love first took root. We would count down the days until we could be back in that special place, together again, in the Arkansas summer that had brought us together.
