Our story began before we knew it was beginning. Two lives lived side by side in the same town yet only intertwined by a shared church building. Both of us born and raised in Ozark, MO and attending church at FBCO until we parted for college. For both of us, 18 years came and went yet never a word was interchanged between us. Fast forward to 2021 when we both graduated from PT and OT school, we never imagined our first job would lead us to each other. An orientation training led to us being face to face for the first time and having our first conversation. We stood in the hallway catching up and reminiscing on the past and our new futures as we effortless chatted over our break. When I told Levi I would be right back with my lunch so we could eat together, I haphazardly got distracted talking (oops) and never came back… I’m so sorry Levs. Little did I know that missed lunch would lead to Levi asking me out to dinner to make up for it. After our first date just a short week later, we haven’t gone a day since without talking. Over the last year and a half, we have already had so many adventures, laughs, new experiences, and just ordinary days spent together that we wouldn’t trade for anything. Never would we have imagined that our past lives lived in parallel to each other would intersect so many years later and bring about such a blessing of a relationship. We thank God for his perfect ways and for bringing us together in such a small way that led to our biggest moment to come when we say “I do”.
