Family Picture 2010

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

So now I guess it's my turn to say a few things about the last few months. We did start dating in December, but just a few weeks previously, when I had been setting up my Facebook account for the first time, Kinz was one of the first to add me as a friend and immediately invite me to her Thanksgiving turkeyfest that she was putting on at her apartment. I still wasn't sure what to think of her at that time, so I made up an excuse such that I didn't go.



We became "Facebook Friends", in that we would chat online once in a while, but would not hardly say two words to each other face-to-face at the single's ward (from where we originally knew each other in the first place). I asked her out on our first date during one of these "chats"; we agreed to go to the Cache Valley Fun Park and shoot pool for a while. I picked her up, we played pool for about an hour, and I took her home! Not much of a first date, I guess, but somehow she was still interested enough to go out again about two weeks later (to dinner with my whole family, no less!). It was about that same time we decided to give steady dating a shot.



Everything that happened over the course of following months was almost too bizarre in the things we had in common, the path our lives were on, and the desire to move forward and take the next step into something more serious. We finally decided there was nothing else for it, and got engaged the first week of April. The true test of our relationship soon reared its ugly head---the ensuing months leading to the wedding were difficult (mostly for me; apparently Kinzie was loving all of it). Luckily, it was only ten weeks from the time we got engaged until the wedding itself, so I didn't have much time to think about it. We stayed very busy and made it to the wedding with everything taken care of (which I didn't think was going to happen). Since then, life has been great as we've spent more time getting to know each other and focusing on establishing our own family. We're very blessed!

The Begining

Josh and I have been married for about 11 weeks now and it has been wonderful!

Josh and I meet at a singles ward here in Logan. We have been going to the same ward for about 3 years. The first time we talked to each other was at Sweetly Divine. He came in and i recognized him from the ward and had to ask him if he knew what was in the rum ball when he ordered it (lol). I had always appreciated his Sunday School Lessons and every once in awhile I would get up the courage and tell him so. We didn't really talk again until he joined Facebook. the moment i saw that he was on there i wanted to be his "Friend". after he accepted i decided that i would start two conversations with him and then the ball would be in his court. as you can tell that my strategy worked. He asked me on our first date on Facebook (little did he know all of my friends were there to cheer me on!) Our first date was Dec. 11th 2008. After only two weeks he invited me to go out to dinner with his entire Family! I was a little Nervous but it all ended well.

We were officially engaged April 13th 2009. Ten weeks later we were married in the SLC Temple for time and all eternity. We are living in Logan in a house (currently for sale !!! anyone interested?).

Well that is it for now more to come soon!
