## Early Life

### Birth

Nurie Katelin Rodrigues was born April 19, 1999 to David and Jill Rodrigues.

### Early Life

When Nurie was four years old, she became a Christian after realizing she was "a sinner in need of a savior" and asking her parents to help her through a prayer. She considers her "life verses" to be James 4:7-8.

Growing up, Nurie often traveled around the United States with her family, singing in churches, fellowshipping with other families, and promoting their printing business.

### Childhood Education

Along with her siblings, Nurie was homeschooled growing up. She graduated from high school in June of 2017.

## Family

### Courtship

On July 1, 2019, Nurie announced via a Facebook live video on her parents' account that she is courting Nathan Keller. This courtship was teased on her mother's blog on June 26, 2019. Later that day, her mother posted on her instagram account that the two had been getting to know each other over the years when their families visited and that both she and Nathan were seeking their parents' guidance in the relationship.

In a later Instagram post, it was revealed that the courtship began "about 3 weeks" prior to the public announcement. Nathan sent her flowers with a note that read "Dear Nurie, thank you for your friendship for entering this next stage of courtship with me looking forward to what God will do in our future. Love Nathan". Shortly after, Nurie traveled to Georgia with her family to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding, which took place on June 26, 2019. Nathan came to Georgia to visit and presented her with a necklace that "made it even more official".

### Engagement

On November 9, 2019, Nathan Keller proposed to Nurie on a bridge outside of the Stonewall Jackson Resort in Roanoke, West Virginia. The two are currently planning on getting married in July of 2020. Hosanna Plath will be in the wedding party.

### Marriage

Nurie married Nathan Keller on July 25, 2020.

### Motherhood

On February 22, 2021, it was announced via a live on Jill's facebook page that Nurie and Nathan were expecting their first child. At the time of the announcement, Nurie was approximately 7 weeks along, and in her first trimester of pregnancy, making the baby due on October 12, 2021. On June 17 it was announced that Nurie and Nathan were having a boy.

On October 11, 2021, Nurie gave birth to her son, Nehemiah David Keller.

## Resume

### Education

Nurie began taking Bible classes at Ripley Baptist Temple under the Bible Institute Program in fall of 2018. Nurie graduated from this program on May 11, 2020. Due to covid19, the ceremony was held virtually.

### Etsy Shop

Nurie has a shop on Etsy where she sells jewelry. Although many of the pieces look handmade, it is unknown if Nurie made any of it herself. At one point, there was a Facebook page for this Etsy shop, but that page is currently not live. Once she got married, she passed it down to her younger sister's.

### Mission Work

In January of 2018, Nurie went on a mission trip to Botswana. While there, she knocked on doors and helped out pass out Bible tracts, and spent time with local children.
