It's a funny story how Tony and I came to be. We started as two people who knew nothing about one another but, had agreed to be roommates. Tony and I met through my sister Krista and brother in law Brennen. Tony and Brennen had been friends and roommates.

 We started spending time together after work looking for places to live, and one day I noticed myself getting those little school girl butterflies and I started to think uh oh... this cannot happen! Needless to say I ended up renting my own place without Tony.

Someone once told me that persistence beats resistance and in our relationship this couldn’t have been truer. As Tony and I started spending more time with one another as "friends" I really fell for him. How could one not? Between his huge heart, witty personality and most of all fun we had with one another he swept me off my feet quickly.

As we spent every day together and feelings started to become more real and yep I knew there was no way I was going to let him get away.  Well our days as "friends" turned to months and as everyone who knows Tony he moves at his own place and at his own free will. Well, Tony wouldn't budge on our title of "friends" I know it’s just a title but, gosh darn it I wanted to stand tall and proud to claim him as my boyfriend! 

Well as we can all see my persistence beat his resistance. Ha Ha. I am thankful that he was so resistant and slow paced, I know that if he hadn't been this way then we may not be where we are today. Our truly think our relationship is stronger, more open and honest because of the friendship we grew before we started throwing around that title I wanted so much.
