Ok, so as many of you have noticed . . . something is different, new, fresh. :) JoshWychopen.com no longer exists, it was replaced by a far more superior website called, JoshLovesKristin.com. :) What’s up with that, you might be wondering . . . well we are finally spreading the news. As of early May, Kristin Shaffer and I are now dating/courting! :) Whatever you want to call it; it’s the process that leads to marriage. ;) We are slightly excited and although we are not engaged, we cannot wait for the coming weeks and months to see what God will do. His hand of blessing has been with us throughout our friendship and we have been thrilled to watch it blossom into a deeper relationship. :)

During the coming weeks and months we will be adding information to the website, you will soon be able to read the story from start to finish of how we “met” and how this whole relationship has unfolded. :) God has given us some incredible ways to serve Him together and we are looking forward to seeing how He will guide us together into that life message.
Each of us will be posting here from time to time to help keep our friends and family up-to-date on the latest happenings, so please check back regularly. If you would like to subscribe to email updates you can put your email address in the box along the side of your screen and click submit.

Hey Josh and Kristin,
I am so very happy for you two. Both of you have blessed my life and I pray that God will bless you tenfold.
I think that we should pray fervently for courtship couples. I will be praying for y’all.
You know, the enemy will be doing all he can to attack you, and your testimony. Stay strong, put God as very first in all things and remember that the victory is won through Christ!
Love y’all!

Yea Josh, my first clue was when I tried to go on your website and it was not available. The thing was that the search engine kept showing joshloveskritin.com I found out for sure that y’all were together a little later. I’m happy for both of you! God Bless!

Praying for you both! God is good to have allowed you to be such good friends through the years and to have ministered through music together. It will be great to see how the Lord leads you both now.
Josh, you are getting a real ruby, treasure her always.

The Shaffer family couldn’t be more thrilled. The Lord has been so gracious-we have clearly seen His hand of blessing since that fateful day in April. We love both of you and pray every night that He would continue to knit your hearts together in your new blooming love. It is fun to watch. And as Kathryn so perfectly stated–”It’s about time!!!”
