Our Love Story

I was sorta tagged! Here ya go!

1. Where did you first meet your husband?
Jake was my FHE (Family Home Evening) brother at BYU-Idaho. He used to hang out with my roommates and I. All my roommates thought he was dreamy, but with my skill, I was able to bag him!

2. What was the first thing you said to your husband?
I don't really remember. Probably "Hey" or something similar. I think we played games that first FHE night, so I was probably a little out of control.

3. Where was your first date?
We went to my favorite restaraunt, Chilis! Then we went to a movie, "Signs." Jake says I screamed all the way through it. I think he's making it up!

4. Where was your first kiss?
On the front porch of the house I was living in. We stood there for 20 minutes talking while Jake got up the nerve. We both wanted him to do it, but I wasn't going to do it!

5. Did you have a long or short engagement/courtship?
We dated for about three months before we were engaged, then we got married six months later. I don't recommend a six month engagement. By the end, I was so antsy to be married I didn't do very well on some of my finals!

6. Where did you get engaged?
On the front step of my apartment building. Jake had me convinced that he was going to do it on another day, but then he suprised me. It was nice!

7. Where did you get married?
In the Idaho Falls Temple!! It was so pretty and quiet and just nice.

8. How did the reception go?
It was fine. Looking back we both desperatly wish we had just eloped though. We had a ring ceremony, which was fine I guess. But I barely remember it, just through the pictures we have.

9. How was the honeymoon?
We went to Glacier National Park in Montana. Most of the park was still closed because it was snowy, and we had to detour a little bit because of snow. Our pictures were nice though. I can't believe how skinny I was!

Ok, so now I tag anyone who feels like sharing there story or would just like to reminisce.

Hey, just like Becky I remember some of it happening, but it's so neat to hear everyone's love stories. It's good to reminisce about our beginnings once in a while. How are other things going? Are you having the whole family over for Thanksgiving? :)

Hey Jenny! No baby last night. Ü So who was your interview with? I hope it went well! And thanks for being willing to get up in the middle of the night if I go into labor!

Yep, my mom came. She is going to be at the birth with us, so we will still call if you don't mind. Ü
