Mikaya

We met in October 2023 when I came into Agri Spray Drones for an interview. I started working there in November and was told very quickly by one of our amazing coworkers that there were lots of eligible, single young men at Agri Spray. But since this was my workplace, I wrote every single one of them off.

I noticed something different with Mikaya the first time I met her. She had an energy and smile that lit up a room. She was great to work with and helped develop me in my professional career which brought us closer together. Over the winter, we worked very closely together and got along very well. Things started changing when I moved into my new office and she followed me there for the “sunlight”. ;)

True story. I was put in an office with no windows that was freezing. Why wouldn’t I want to work in a room with sunshine (hello seasonal depression!) and get to talk to Tanner throughout the day?

Before we really started talking, I felt something missing in my life. I found myself praying more, which I hadn’t done in awhile. My prayers were for direction since I didn’t know where I was heading in life.

I was more and more drawn to Tanner, but I knew that we were not on the same page spiritually. I talked to a couple of my pastors' wives about him, and they suggested that I just pray for him... come to learn that when I started praying for him was the same time that the Holy Spirit started working on his heart.

Crazy how the Lord works and the way that he brought us together. This part of our story is my favorite. It truly shows God’s grace and love for us.

During the spring, we started texting and hanging out at work more and more. I found myself waiting for Thursdays at work since that was the day that she would come in. While working with each other, she would ask questions that would spark great conversation and I noticed soon that there was something different about Mikaya, but I knew she wanted to focus on her career. I’m a slow mover and she’s a fast one so while I was dragging my feet on asking her out, she had friends at work talking in both of our ears to get us together. I finally worked up the courage to ask her out after we worked on an event together and had our first unofficial date at the University of Missouri Research Farm.

Not kidding. Tanner and I went out to shoot a promo video and then we ended up driving through the fields just talking about anything and everything. When we got back to the main hub at the farm, the rest of our coworkers had gone home.
