ix months before they began dating, Dave asked Asti out.
Asti, who wasn’t available at the time, politely declined.
Months later, while visiting a social-media site, Asti’s attention was captured by a young man. She sent him a message,
and quickly discovered that they were both students at Brigham
Young University. They arranged to go out. When Dave arrived
they still didn’t recognized each other. However, once the realization hit they both shared a good laugh.
Dave received an undergraduate degree in Business Management with an
emphasis in finance. He later went on to receive an MBA. Asti received her
degree in Family Science. She had plans to pursue her masters in Marriage
and Family Therapy, but after nine months of marriage the news came that
they would be adopting their first son, Benjamin, who they affectionately
refer to as, “our honeymoon baby.” A few years later, they had another opportunity to adopt and were blessed with their son, Joshua.
