So, as my first official blog, here is my version of our story!
Matt and I first met in January of 2007, just after he returned from his mission in Brazil. I was introduced to him in the Tayler building at BYU-I. (Room 120 just for those who are wondering). He was my new home teacher, and he was a great one!
Our first date was Mexican food and go-carts. Soon after, I was invited over to his apartment to watch the Super Bowl (Bears vs someone). He eventually initiated t
he DTR and the rest was history!
Some people like to ask, when was the moment you knew that you loved your spouse? I can't pinpoint a single moment. I think that it was just everything. I hated being away from him when we were apart, and I loved being with him when we were together. Almost 4 years later, and I can still say the same thing! He is just an amazing man!
Well, we finally got engaged in December of 2007, and we were married on May 24th 2008. Since then, we have both graduated and moved from Rexburg. Matt just started Chiropractic school, and I am searching for a great job.
So, that is a short version of our fairy tale thus far!
Have you ever bought a new couch that just needed a little more personality? That is what happened to us when we bought ours! Don't get me wrong, we got rid of the ugly brown couch, and we now have a red couch, the color alone gives it personality. Here was the solution to my problem: Grandma! The timing was perfect, and the fabric was on sale. My Grandma just had surgery on her foot, so she needed some help around the house. I just moved to St. Louis and did not have a job. (Do you see where I am going with this?) It was so much fun to make these pillows with my precious Grandma. She is an amazing woman with amazing talents. I was so lucky to be able to stay with her for a few weeks...and I guess I came home with more personality then I had before!
