Our Story

At the beginning of her second summer at Camp Westminster, Hannah  noticed Caleb because he was assigned to be her Secret SC (the person she would secretly write encouraging letters to for the summer). She began to pay attention to him in order to discover what types of gifts to give him throughout the summer. Somehow, she felt a special connection to him, as she knew when he was nervous to participate in camp traditions or upset about campers. She often prayed for him. Caleb also gained her attention through his weird behavior, such as eating Starbursts with the wrappers still on.

This was the first picture that Caleb and Hannah took together. At this point, she was beginning to have feelings for him, though she tried to deny it. Caleb was off in his Starburst-wrapper world while chasing other women at camp.

Through divine intervention, Caleb began to suddenly have feelings for Hannah during the last week of camp. Their cabins were scheduled to do activities together all week, and he had ample time to notice how beautiful she was. At the time, Hannah had a terrible cold and could hardly think or sleep, and Caleb had compassion for her. He began flirting by pretending a stick was a gun and drawing a picture of a weird cat. However, because Hannah was so sick, she missed his attempts entirely and thought he was just being kind. Even when he wrote her a note on Wednesday reminding her to "Trust God," she still thought he was just being friendly.

That note was God's instrument to start their relationship. In it, Caleb shared Psalm 138:8, "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands." At this moment, God helped Hannah to surrender to Him, and she decided that if she couldn't date Caleb, she would love to date a man like Caleb.

A surprise to both of them, God had an unexpected plan. On Saturday morning at check-out, Caleb walked up to Hannah and asked her if she would "like to get ice cream to talk about our hectic week?" She said, "yes," without thinking, and after cleaning the camp, they went to Bruster's for ice cream.

After their date, Caleb left Hannah at her cabin. She thought it was over, and spent the next few hours promising herself that she would never tell anyone this had happened. Then, she decided to trust God.

After the banquet, Caleb finally approached her again, said he had a question to ask her, and then promptly "forgot" the question. Hannah knew he was just nervous, so she told him he could ask when he remembered, and that gave him the courage to ask for her number. They then took this picture: their first picture together.
