Abby (Morris) Breedlove - ECU Class of 2009
I was introduced to the Wesley Foundation second semester of my freshman year at ECU, when I moved into the girls’ house next door. Most of my favorite memories from ECU involve Wesley: Thursday evening services and late night IHOP; Wesley Singers; getting dressed up for dances; becoming close friends with my housemates; Halloween; the mystery dinner/sleepover Wesley put on for area youth groups; an impromptu week-long guys-vs-girls prank war (pictured below); and too many more to list. But, more importantly, Wesley helped me grow a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God and introduced me to countless opportunities to serve others.
After graduating from ECU in 2009 I moved to Raleigh to live with my best friend, work, and try to figure out what career path I wanted to take. God placed the exact right people in my life at precisely the right time and I was offered a job as a legal assistant at a property law firm despite the fact that I had no experience. I was nervous and had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but I spent the next few years learning and growing and ended up loving the work so much that I later went to law school.
God showed his grace in my life in 2011 when He allowed mine and Andrew Breedlove’s paths to cross again. Andrew and I grew up in the same town and were pretty distant acquaintances during our teens. We went to separate colleges and were always Facebook friends, but never interacted with one another until December 26, 2011, when Andrew messaged me and asked if he could call me sometime. We spent time getting to know each other over the phone, eventually went on our first date, and the rest is history.
Fast-forward to today: Andrew and I have been married just over 7 years. We work and live in Raleigh with our black lab, Lazarus. We are planning to start a family sometime in the next year or two, but for now we’re still loving life as a duo. In our free time we love doing anything outdoors and spending time with our friends and families. On long weekends you will most likely find us in Asheville, which is our go-to getaway. As far as work goes, Andrew is an IT Specialist with the State of North Carolina Judicial Branch, and I am a Commercial Real Estate & Development Attorney at Moore & Alphin, PLLC.
