About Us

Mexico, 1999.  A young Lauren Mudge spends a December weekend handing out shoeboxes filled with goodies to children.  As she is casually enjoying a sucker, she hands a shoebox to a young, brown, Corey Schwarz.  SNAPSHOT.

 

In an instant love is born in the heart of Schwarz as he stumbles over words trying to explain to Lauren that he is actually apart of the same group she is on the trip with.  To no end and with no luck, he finally graciously accepts the gift and vows to make Lauren his.  FAST FORWARD.

 

January 06, 2013.  Corey has now thrice confessed love to Lauren ambiguously through letters, as well as outright saying and writing the words "I love you."  On

this Sunday morning after finally coming to a place of contentness God pitches one of his curveballs to Corey as Lauren suggests romantic interest in him.  

FORTY DAYS.

 

In fourteen of forty planned days of prayer Ms. Mudge and Mr. Schwarz come to the same conclusion.  It's a green light from the big man upstairs and thus this friendship is moved beyond good, great, and even best friend status to: teammates, partners, helpers, companions, and co-laborers with Jesus Christ for the glory of God and the advancement of his kingdom here on earth.  This event is so catastrophic that it has given hope to every "friend zoned" man hoping to become something more.  

 

The dream was made complete on January 11, 2014 with a formal request and acceptance of marriage and continues to be lived everyday.  On September 06, 2014 a new chapter in the story begins, and this one is greater than those preceding it.
