I sat next to a boy I liked on a couch and put my head on his shoulder while he studied and I read. Little did I know that day would change the rest of my eternity. Respect grew to like, like grew to love, love grew to marriage and sealed together for time and all eternity. If I have learned anything from Connor it's that God has it figured out and we have to much potential in our faith, charity, love, understanding and goodness that we know no bounds. Here we are six months later engaged to be married and three months away from that blessed day! I'm so grateful for Coco and her friendliness and the fact that she invited people over to our house that day and that Connor was one of them. I'm so grateful to Mike Carter for placing Connor as my home teacher and listening to the spirit in that endeavor. I'm so grateful for Connor for taking a leap and seeing me for what I'm trying to be, for loving me almost instantly, for being forgiving and understanding and full of goodness towards me and others, for persevering and making his one romantic relationship something to write home about. I feel so lucky and blessed to be around these past six months and to get into marvelous habits and search for life and love together. In six months from now I'll be married and be on the eve of my 24th birthday. Time flies when you're having fun.
