Couple's Shower

Friends First.  BEST Friends Forever.

When dental hygiene students meet U o M football players on a mid-summer's eve, the mood and energy could only be described as electrifying. With a campus which was practically empty and hey, we were some pretty nice looking ladies on campus - heck, who are we kidding, other than the other female athletes, we were the only other females on the campus so you can imagine the neck strain that our dear football players incurred when a group of us walked into the restaurant. We quickly became a "group" that hung out and had some fun. Jeff and Reece were particularly fond of hanging out with us and we all quickly became really great friends. As friend groups come and go, a few of the friends stayed together; we would be included in that smaller grouping. Through the years we've grown together not only as friends, but we grew spiritually together as our love for the Lord Jesus Christ gave us a wonderful foundation and has given us the greatest of bonds with Christ as the center of our relationship. We have aimed to live out our relationship to Honor Him. We realized we were more than friends and took the leap of faith to pursue a relationship and see where that took us. Since then, we've laughed, met each other's families, traveled, supported each other, prayed for each other, brainstormed ideas when we've had issues to overcome, went to football games, after-parties, Championship games, beating Ohio State not once, but three times! New Year's Eve parties, walks, dates, concerts, hockey games, cooking dinner, watching the 'Bachelor' (don't worry - Jeff hates it but watches it for Liv). Each day we continued in building our relationship as 'boyfriend/girlfriend'. We continued to grow slowly and simply together and with each passing day became greater and greater friends. Because of building a solid foundation, we have a bond of trust that is deep and meaningful. We have long conversations. Take goofy pictures. Show each other our real selves and never take the other one for granted. Taking our friendship to the next level, brings us to the present. Our relationship is deeper, fuller, and richer than when we began. We thank God for each other and we thank God for our families' support of our relationship and our future. Now we're engaged and love it! All the planning and dreaming of our future together is so wonderful but we simply cannot wait for the day to come when we will be announced as Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Persi and begin our future by walking hand in hand down the aisle, out the door of the church to our "Forever Together". We cannot wait to see what the Lord chooses to do with our lives. We pray that we are able to live long, healthy lives with each other and our future children. We hope to grow old together and looking through old eyes and wrinkled skin see in our eyes a love that not only grew and got better, but remembers a day that we started out by being Best Friends... for life. Without a doubt, we wouldn't want to build a future with anyone else. Well, that's just the beginning of how "WE" came to be and we simply cannot wait to see how God decides to write the rest of "Our Story". Thank you for being a part of our today, please continue to pray for our tomorrow's. Romans 8:28
