I love my hubby/wife tag!

Nathan and I have been tagged by Whit to tell our love story. :) Nathan is usually always the one who updates our blog but I thought that I had better do this post so that I can make sure that everything gets told right- haha.

1. Where did you meet your husband/wife? What was the first thing he/she said to you?
We met the second day after I moved to Rexburg to start school my first semester- I sure didn't waste any time! My roomate Mandy introduced us. (Thanks again Mandy- We owe you!) That night Mandy said “Let's go hang out with my friend Nathan.” I was always up for meeting boys so I was like “Ok!” So we went over to his apartment and the first time that I saw him he was playing his guitar. (Sooo hot!) Speaking of, I don't think I have seen him play since.... I don't remember what the first thing he said to me was but I assume it was just “hi.” :) We played an intense game of spoons with both mine and his roomates. I wouldn't say that it was love at first sight (I actually thought that he was a bit unfriendly at first.) but I did think that he was super cute and he definitely got much “friendlier” after that! :)

2. Where was your first date?
We hung out quite a few times with groups of friends before we had our first date. (We watched the Secret Window and he TRIED putting his arm around me, we went to a bonfire and I LET him put his arm around me, and we went to the fireworks on the 4th of July and we cuddled) Our first “real” alone date was on the day that he asked me to be his girlfriend. (He asked “So uh can I call you my girlfriend?”) He took me to watch Spiderman 2 and no it did not end with a kiss...

3. When was your first kiss?
Our first kiss was a whole week after we had been boyfriend/girlfriend. Lame huh! He was nervous so I patiently waited. When it finally happened we were in Mandy's room with all of my roomates listening to music. I was starting to fall asleep on the bed and he leaned over and kissed me. I guess he was too chicken to kiss me while I was awake! :)

4. Did you have a long or short engagement/courtship?
In this area our courtship would be considered long. We were together 14 months (including engagement) before we were married. We were engaged forever though- 6 months. And we were apart for most of the time because he had to go home to work on the farm during our off track. I don't think I have talked on the phone so much in my life!

5. Where did you get engaged?
We got engaged about a week after I had gotten my wisdom teeth pulled so I had sore chubby cheeks. I had a favorite spot by the river where you can see the temple really well and that is where he got down on one knee. He had my ring in his wallet and when he wipped it out of course I said yes!

6. Where did you get married?
We got married in the Idaho Falls temple on October 8, 2005. It was one of the happiest days of my life. (Now that I have Conner I have more than one “happiest day!”) Nathan has been my best friend ever since- I love you baby! :)
