Love Bird tag!

Okay, so this is my journal right. I plan on printing mine out as my journal. That is why I like the tag things. I think the everyday glimpes are so important. Then there are some stories that just need to be shared. This is a cute tag I found on Lacey Briscoes blog. I find it fun and insightful, so if you have time to do it, it would be fun, but ultimatly no pressure!

1. Where did you and your husband meet?

Sean and I were both going to the Institute 10th ward. We were both dating other people at the time. I made up these card that said liscence to kiss. I held my phone number up like a prison number for the photo. I thought Sean was really cute, so I gave him one of my cards before sacrament meeting and told him to call me. And yes, his girlfriend was sitting next to him at the time! :) Ya, she didn't like me too well after that! 2. The first thing you said to each other?

Probably "call me", but I do remeber talking with him outside of the bishops office. I told him that I was going to be an Engineer or realtor, and that I was going to marry a accountant or engineer. He told me that he had his pilots liscence. I informed him that there were 3 types of people I would never marry: 1- a police, 2- a fireman, and 3- a pilot! I don't like worrying. We can see how well this worked out for us.

3. When was our first date?
There was a girl ask guy Carribean dance at the Institute. My friends and I decided to dress like pirates. By this time I had to find him (he had moved out of the ward, and I didn't have any phone numbers.) *Good thing I am rescorceful!*

4. First kiss?
This is kind of funny, because I gave him the run around. I was a real brat, and I am so glad Sean was patient. I think the first time he wanted to kiss me, he had anonamous flowers sent to me thruout the day, and at the end of the day he presented them to me in person. I didn't get kissed, because I acted like I was really embarrased. (I just have to shake my head in dissapointment with myself.)

The first time I wanted him to kiss me was as he started to loose interest in me (surprize surprize), I called to see if he wanted to go out for dinner. He said "no, I am going to the temple tonight with my ward". So I said "how about lunch". He said "no, I have to work thru my lunch so I can go tonight." So I said "Oh, can I come with you!" He made arrangements for me to do babtisms while he did a session. Afterwards, we walked by the falls. I kept sticking my hand out waiting for him to grab it, but he wouldn't. I tried to lean into him and look dreamily up at him, but he still wouldn't. On the ride home I kept putting my hand by his and on his knee, and he still wouldn't hold it! No kiss that night!

But, our first kiss was at my grandparents house. We were "watching a show" and talking an just started kissing and didn't stop for about 3 hours!! Take about having a red face form wisker burn!

5. When were the first "I love yous" said?

I think they were said that night of the kiss.

6. Long or short engagement?

Lets just say that I got my ring about a week before the wedding. We got engaged in June, and planned to marry in August. We bought the first (and only) dress I tried on, rented an apartment, and when I took Sean to meet my dad he said "Why wait? If you know you are going to get married, just do it. Waiting can only get you in trouble." We thought that was great advice, and moved up the wedding to July 11. My grandparents (whose house the reception was held at) did not think that we could pull off a reception that soon. So 1 month later (August 15)we had the reception on the original wedding date. So we had 5 weeks on 1 pan, 1 towel, etc.

7. Where did you get engaged?

I don't really know. I guess I am pretty naive. That night we kissed and said I love you (I want to spend the rest of my life with you). The next night we looked at wedding rings. The following day, I took my mom out for ice cream and said "Mom, I think I'm gonna get married!" Then at a family function I was intoduced as "Seans fiance." Then I knew I was engaged.

8. Where were you married?

We were married in the Bountiful Utah Temple. I had attended the open house while I was in high school, from then on that was "my temple." Sean didn't mind where, as long as it was a temple. 9. Where did you go on your honeymoon?
The first night we stayed in jacuzzi suite in Brigham City. Then we had a week at my family's cabin in Island Park. But, I was too excited to "play house" that the second night we stayed in our apartment in Pocatello. But that next day we went to the cabin for the week.

10. Where was your first home?

We rented my moms basement apartment for about 9 months. Then we purchased 374 Filmore. It was a small but beautiful home in a great neighborhood with great people, a large fenced yard. a deck, a dog, and 9 months later, Nathan! I still have a spot in my heart there, because it was so peaceful and the home where or family began
