Our Oh-So-Cute Story

We met in early 2004 and slowly came to know one another over a long and interesting period of time. We were both happily dating other people when we first met, but after a year spent together at church, and an occasional double date with our then-current significant others, we came to deeply appreciate and admire each other. If someone had told us then what would happen in the future, we never would have believed it—we had never held even a remotely romantic thought about one another—until... one fateful rainy day.

Nicole's lease had ended, so she announced in our home fellowship group that moving help was needed, and Jonathan was happy to pitch in. Not having consulted weather.com, moving day was gray and wet. Yes, the furniture was soaked, but even though it rained and poured, being his usual self, Jonathan livened up the mood and made Nicole laugh out loud all day long. That day, something clicked and we realized something big was happening. It only took a couple of weeks before we began officially dating, but soon a romance developed that we had never before experienced. We were smitten.

And on October 22, 2005, still in deep smit, we were married. But as you'll find out from reading this blog, marriage was just the beginning.
