How we got started


Michael and i meant though a young single adult program though the church. My friend kelli going on a date and needed a another couple to double with so i said (being daring) i would ask someone and double with them so 2 nights before the date i still didn't have a date so finally i said what about Michael so we had a large group playing volleyball after institute one night and i ask him if he would be my date he said sure. So for our first date we went quad riding and then out to dinner to chilies where Michael ate a awesome blossom and i ate chickens crispers and then we meant to the Saturday nite dance they had at the old 2ND st building behind the mesa temple. And then a week later michael asked this girl out for a date but she couldn't go so i was the (backup) date and we became so close and inseparable and one late nite we were texting on our phones till all our of the morning and i ask him what we were because if we were together i needed to cancel my date i had that Friday nite he answered me on a text saying would u be my girlfriend. I being stupid said yes on a text . and then he ask if i would like ot meet him family i said already he haven't even been going out a hour yet so the next nite i meant his parents and brothers and sisters not knowing they would be my future in laws next thing u know we were dating seriously for 2 weeks then Michael said he was going to the temple to pray about us i was so nervous for the whole day at work i thought seriously he was going to break up with me it was like 2 hours after i knew he was suppose to be done with the temple he never called yet not knowing he was at my dads work all dressed up still in his suit he called my mom and had her meet at my dads work and asking them for my hand in marriage and all the guys at my dads work was making so much fun of him how they just wanted to get him all dirty.Then the next day Saturday he went to this guy he knew over in phoenix know own a jewelry shop and designed my engagement ring and that nite we had a double date with my parents to go out for dinner and go to the book or Mormon movie but Michael called and he he could make dinner i was so mad at him and then he was late for the movie and i had to run out of the movie to give him his ticket not knowing he was in phoenix the whole time then after the movie ended i told him i would just see him in the morning cause it was after 1100 pm and i was tried and so mad at him for being late and he was going to go to church with us in the morning but he insisted to come over i said what ever and it was cold October nite 24 Th and i change into my PJ's and though my hair up into a pony tail and he told me to go out ot the back patio and lets talk so we sat on the swing and i was freezing i was wrapped in my blanket and he started talking about the moons and the stars and how they went on forever and eternity i ask him what in the heck are u talking about cause i didn't want to sit here i was cold and mad at him still then he slide of the bench making it swing so hard i almost flew out and then he got down ot one knee and ask me to marry him i said WHAT he ask again i said yes then he said hold on and he left me i was like where did he go he ran out to his car and brought back 2 dozen red roses and we went inside and i got my mom and dad out of bed and stared calling people i didn't care what time it was and then we got into my car and had to go tell to my close friends we knew was still up and went to the Saturday nite dance Kelli and Ammond and so excited and they were shocked .
