Bringing everyone up to speed

July 4, 2006 @ 6:30 pm ·

Way back in the beginning of 2004 Josh started a new job and a few days later met Megan.  A friendship was immediately born.  As the months went by our friendship changed often, sometimes being the best of friends and others very distant, as we usually worked at different locations.  Then Megan’s job responsibility changed and she started to find herself at the same location as Josh more often, which in turn made their friendship grow into the best of friends.

Throughout the next several months, both of our lives changed drastically.  We both found ourselves dealing with our own issues and found continuous support from each other.  Well, to make a long story short, several months later we decided to take our friendship to the next level.  Now, many many months later, we are both “feet over shell” in love with our best friend and extremely happy.

We both might have believed in soul mates prior to meeting each other, but I guarantee you that we both believe in them now!

    Considering that I love memories (and stuff… like little peices of paper, napkins, and ticket stubs) this is the BEST THING you will ever do! You two will be amazed at what you have forgotten, when you read this next year! Record it all! We tend to forgt the “good” things! They get us through the bad things. 🙂 MEMORIES… of all kinds are what will make your relationship strong.
