We met in the Spring of 2006 and, although Russ thought he was sly and clever at playing "hard-to-get", I had a few tricks of my own. :) It took a while for him to ask me out, let alone get my number, but when we finally did go out, there was no turning back. We dated for about 4 1/2 months before he purposed on Sept. 8 and were married on December 23, 2006 in the Salt Lake Temple on a gorgeous morning with fresh snow on the ground, which made it perfect for pictures! We moved right in to Wymount Terrace, right up the street from BYU and literally right across from the Provo temple, and we love it here! We've made so many friends and love the atmosphere. We love to hop the fence (try doing THAT in a dress!) and take long walks around the temple, or go to one of the nearby parks and star gaze (tribute to our first date... cheesy, huh?).
Since we've been married, we've been on a ton of fun trips to WA and CA (where we're from) and are always planning on our next one. I come from a family of nine and Russ comes from a family of 7, so we're super close to our families and try to spend as much time as possible with each. Holidays are always an adventure! :) We love it, though, and wouldn't trade it for the world.
We love being married... we think it's the best thing in the world. No more long goodbyes at the door, no more having to driving home at nights wishing you didn't have to, or super-long nights with no sleep because you don't want to leave each other and barely functioning the next day because of it! It's so nice to come HOME to EACH OTHER! Marriage is AWESOME!!! :)
