We love the Drotars!

A few months ago, some amazing people came into our lives...in February actually!! Rafael and Rikki Drotar. They are the coolest people since I don't know when. I guess Steven & Raf used to fly together at Turf, but weren't really friends. When we met them officially, we felt like we knew them from somewhere before...if it wasn't at Turf, it was the pre-existence!! Had we known them before we got married, they would have been in our wedding party!
I have the great privillege of working with Rikki in Young Womens. She is the Beehive Advisor and the Assistant Camp Director. I have never worked with someone so closely before! We have come leaps and bounds with the Beehives over the past few months! It is so nice being on the same page as someone you work with! Our lessons have become quite the spiritual experience that I look forward to every week!
Raf and Rikki are great!! We go on double dates often and the most common noise is laughing!!
Since before we were married, we've been praying for another couple to be friends with. A couple that I like both the wife and husband and so does Steven. For awhile, we had no one. Or at least no one that we could handle for more than a couple hours at a time. We were almost giving up hope and then the Drotars moved in! They are more than just friends, they're an answer to our prayers (apparently Heavenly Father was getting them married in order to answer our prayers!)
In some things, Rikki and are a lot alike and so are Steve & Raf. In other things, Raf and I are alike and Steven & Rikki are the same. I wish I could say in words how great we all get along. I can talk to Rikki or Raf for hours (but it's usually Rikki haha--Raf's attention span is shorter!) And Steve could talk to either for hours also! We have never had a couple that fit with us like this!
All in all, we love the Drotars! We are so thankful for having them in our lives! We have created life-long friends with them! We're hoping we have kids that get married so we can laugh with them through the eternities!
