How I met my L.O.V.E

(This picture was taken last year in Maui during a snorkeling trip)

This was on my friend Stephanie's blog. She was very young when I last saw her and when I found out she was married I was very surprised. Her family lived in Venezuela when we lived there. Anyway, it was so fun to find out more about her and how her husband met, so I wanted to do it...

How did you meet your LoVe?

(Answer all the questions HONESTLY)
1. Where did you meet? Dave and I met when he was on his mission in Florida. He was in our family ward. I was attending singles wards and I had a very steady boyfriend. I met him in the hall way at church. I had VERY long hair and the next week I had chopped it all off. Then he got transfered to the singles ward. I helped out when ever possible with the investigators.

2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met? Not too much. I thought he was very cute but... you know he was a missionary so there was nothing there.

3. Do you remember what she/he was wearing? He was wearing his missionary uniform, very attractive ;)

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person? On our first date. He had been home, in Utah, for about 2 or 3 weeks. He said if you are ever in Utah give me a call... My oldest brother was getting married so we were in Utah so I DID call him. I should mention that by this point I had long broken up with my ex boyfriend. Anyway, we hung out on a Saturday night until 5 in the morning and talked all night and finally we kissed.

5. How did he/she ask you out? I think it was some what mutual. After the Saturday night "date" he called me but Marcos never told me. So I called him on Monday and he asked me out again. We have been together ever since.

6. Where did you go for your first date? We went to temple square, where he waited for me for 45 minutes, we went to Training Table, we took Pumba, his dog, up Millcreek Canyon and later looked at pictures of his mission and family, watched a movie with some friends and just talked and talked the rest of the night.

7. How long did you know this person before you became a couple? Not very long. We have been together since our first date.

8. Has this person ever proposed to you? Yes, he proposed August 3, 1999. We had been dating for just under 2 months. We got married October 7, 1999. It was such a fun summer.

9. Do you and this person have kids together? Yes we have almost three kids. Leah, who is 5.5, Mylo, who is almost 3 and we are expecting a little girl in early May. Her name will be Milli... I can't WAIT!!!

10. Have you ever broken the law with this person? I don't think so.

11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person? The first time we hung out. I almost told him I loved him that night. That would have freaked him out so I am glad that I held back until he told me first.

12. Do you get along with any of the ex's of your partner? I have met her 2 times and that was 2 times too many. Others I do like and talk to.

13. Do you trust this person? Yes, I totally trust Dave with ANYTHING.

14. Do you see your partner in your future? Absolutely. We better be together for eternity or I will be very upset! just kidding.

15. What’s the most expensive thing this person has given you? I guess our house but we gave it to each other. Otherwise I would say my wedding ring, that was just for me.

16. What is one thing he/she does that gets on your nerves? I would have to say how much he works. He is constantly working on some project. However, I totally appreciate that he is a hard worker.

17. What is the thing you do that gets on his/her nerves? I asked him this question, he had a hard time figuring out what bugged him and he said how I have certain way of making the bed... hhahaha... that's it?

18. Where do you see each other in 15 years from now? Totally done having kids, very established in life and in a bigger house.

19.Will this person repost this? No, he doesn't have a blog.

However, I hope I see this on other people's blogs. Its fun to revisit the early days of our relationship. I must add how much I love Dave. I feel like we are perfect for each other. We both have things we can change to make things better but we work well together. We get a long great. I adore HIM!!!!
