Leah and I met eight years ago when she, Erika and I were assigned to room together freshman year at Grove City College. We felt very, very different from each other, and I'm sure we all bugged each other at times, but we got along without any major hitches and all chose different roommates the next year.
As time went on, however, friendship between Leah and me matured as we matured. We had lots of heart-deep conversations about God and boys, and I love her lots! We found even after graduating and going our separate ways that we could always pick right up where we left off. On my wedding day last summer, it was Leah who calmed my nerves and fixed my hair when I came back from the hair-dresser in tears. And last weekend it was her turn to be the bride for her beloved Nathaniel.
Among the many loves they share, these two share a love for dancing and are both very skilled! I meant to post a video here, but it was upside down. :-/ It was a beautiful weekend all around. I finally got to show John around campus and kiss him on Rainbow Bridge. We spent a couple of hours catching up with some of my former students who are now freshmen at my Alma Mater! And we got to meet the fiance of another dear former roommate. Next summer, Lord willing, it will be Sarah and Logan's turn!
