The Beginning

First off, we wanted to Thank everyone for all your love and support. Can you believe it's already been two weeks since the wedding? Crazy Sauce. Brett and I are enjoying married life together and love our little apartment in Provo.

Just a little background for those of you who don't know how we met:
In April of 2010 one of my best friends convinced me to move out for the summer to get the feel of living with roommates before I turned in my mission papers by my 21st birthday that September. I of course agreed and in May I moved into Village on the Parkway bldg C which happens to be the same building Brett was in. Although he was on the bottom floor and I on the top.

That first Sunday I noticed Brett sitting by himself but was too chicken to say anything, but my same friend called him over to sit with us. The three of us became really good friends and we started just hanging out together.

By the end of the summer I was getting ready to move back home to start on my papers, but started getting very ill with making that decision. So I decided to sign on for another year contract. Because I resigned so late I was moved down to the last building in the complex: L. At the time I hadn't told Brett I had officially decided to stay, so he was nervous thinking I had left without telling him where I was going. So at the opening social, come to find out, he was looking everywhere for me. And that same evening he asked me out for the following weekend.

We went on our first date; Sept 4, to a Bees game. I remember the day because my birthday is on the sixth and I remember thinking "this is the best birthday present a girl could ask for." The following week I tagged along with his ward (by changing buildings I changed wards) to go do baptisms at the Timp Temple. Later that evening we went to Wendy's for a frosty, just the two of us. And we got on the subject of a relationship, and from that moment on we were a couple.

I will eternally be grateful for those promptings to stick around and not go on my mission. Brett has been a blessing in my life and I thank all those who have been an influence in his life and raised him to be the man he is today.

I do have to say, I was a little worried in the beginning though. It had been almost two months after dating him before he even held my hand. And another added month before he kissed me. A couple of days after he finally made the move, my roommates told me that "we were getting a little worried so we pulled him aside for you and finally asked him when or if he was ever going to kiss you." I had to laugh, but i guess they do need a big thank you.

Brett spoke to my father on Dec 28th, my mothers birthday. And Proposed on Jan 3 at the Provo Bell Tower after taking me on a date to the Bean Museum. Five Months later we were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple on June 7 with Pres Blackburn as our sealer.

This has been such an amazing journey and We look forward with open arms to the future.
