Previous blogs may have casually mentioned Ashlyn's boyfriend, but who is he? This is Alex.
They met playing volleyball through the church young adult group. Sometimes they are partners on the same team, and other times they play against each other on opposing teams, but they both take the game very seriously.
They compete in mud runs, too, and usually with a great group of friends who are just like them...high energy and athletic.
With their busy schedules, they try to schedule dinner together a few times a week.
One thing that sets them apart is spicy foods. Alex didn't grow up eating jalapeños like our family, so what tastes like a bell pepper to us is super hot to him. But he's made huge strides in acclimating himself, like doing the deadly hot One Chip Challenge.
Well done, Alex. You've earned your seat at the McConnell table.
