The Beginnings

We met the first Sunday after I came home from serving a mission in Cambodia. Annie and her family moved in across the street from my parents while I was away. Was it love at first sight? Well...not exactly. In fact, our first date went so bad that we didn't talk to each other for several weeks. Finally, because Annie felt bad for me because I was lonely (my brother had just left for his mission) she asked me out. The second date went a little better so we decided to be, "just friends." Famous last words. Three months after I came home, we were engaged. A VERY long nine month engagement came to a much anticipated end on June 1, 2005 in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. The rest is history.
