The Story of Us (Abridged Version)

It began 14 years ago.  Three fellas bonding over sports, similar senses of humor, video games, undoubted shenanigans, and music in the dorm rooms of Taylor University.  They graduated, pursued careers, dated nice girls, became engaged and then married.  The three becoming three couples.

They shared in wedding celebrations, supporting each "I do."

Spent their summer days together, enjoying the freedom of young married life.

Attended concerts, playing air guitar into the late hours of the night.

Rallied around each move, laboring in love and humid temperatures.

They enjoyed long dinners, uninterrupted conversation filled with laughter, and the hysterical ramblings of the men as they poked fun at each other's flaws in the playful way only old and faithful friends can.

They cheered each other on through all of life's up and downs.  Supporting each hair color, style, job promotion, graduation, birthday, anniversary, and everything in between.

They cleared their calendars for each other, traveled across state lines, and remembered significant dates in each couple's lives.  They became best friends.

They became family. 

Then one day, they became parents.

And, godparents.

And, before they knew it, they were outnumbered.

There were new significant dates to remember, new milestones to celebrate.

They still cleared their calendars for one another, though spent their time together in significantly new ways.



Their children became friends.

Their family grew.

Happily, their story is not ending, but awaiting life's next big moment.
