The Beginning

Once upon a time there was a boy named Levi. He grew up outside of the small town of Riggins in the even tinier town of Lucile, Idaho. Here he spent his childhood roaming the hills in search of prize antlers, swimming the Salmon River, picking blackberries (eating most but saving a few), and fishing. Little did he know but about eight hours south there was a girl named Heather living in Idaho Falls.  She spent her childhood playing with dolls, running through the sprinklers, baking cookies with her mom (eating a few but saving most), and babysitting.

Years past and the little boy and girl grew up. Levi went off to serve a mission in Santa Rosa California and a year later Heather went to college at BYU-Idaho. Levi learned to work hard and rely on the Lord and Heather learned the same.  They both had their ups and downs, which come with growing up. When Levi got back from his mission he also decided to go to school at BYU-Idaho with the intent of using his skills of working hard to help him in school and his skills of hunting for his prize antlers to help him in his pursuit of a wife.

Now it just so happens that this boy and girl, just like Cinderella and Prince Charming, met at a dance. Now country dancing is not quite the grand occasion like unto a ball but it is a place where many girls go in hopes of finding their prince. Heather was sitting at the side of the dance floor waiting for a line dance to get over when a friend from work came over to her and said he had someone he wanted her to meet. He then called Levi over and introduced the boy and girl.

Was it love a first sight? Well, the two of them certainly did not burst into song about already knowing each other because they walked with each other once upon a dream and there was no glass slipper or true loves first kiss. However, it did not take long for the two of them to fall in love.

Levi and Heather spent the remained of the dance together. When Levi asked Heather for her number Heather suggested that he walk her home and then she would give him her number. He happily agreed to do so.

That weekend Heather went on a trip to Colorado so the two of them text. When she got back on Monday they made plans to go for a walk together. Tuesday they went on a date to devotional. Wednesday the made dinner and went country dancing. That night Levi asked if he could hold Heather’s hand, kissed her (after missing once), and became Heather’s boyfriend. A little over a month later they were engaged and two months after that they were married.

The End

(The beginning end of course, we still have the rest of our lives and eternity to look forward to.)
