Kelly's Korner this week is hosting a 'Show Us Your Life - How you met your husband'.
This is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down....
(The very condensed version)
Steve and I met in highschool. He was interested in me and I was only interested in being friends.
While we were in HS, he told me he was going to marry me. I didn't believe him.
We both graduated (1996) and went off to college (I went to Utah Valley for a semester and he went to BYU-Hawaii for a semester). When I asked him why he wanted to go to BYU-Hawaii, his response was (and I quote) "To get as far away from you as I can." (I guess he was tired of waiting around for me). He doesn't remember saying that, but I cleary remember it.
My father passed away during my first semester and I transferred home to be close to my family (we reconnected because of my father's passing). Steve returned home to work a bit before he went on his mission. He served two years in Las Vegas (1997-1999).
(What a handsome missionary)
When Steve returned home from his mission, we started dating.
After six months of dating we were engaged.
Three months later, on June 24, 2000, we were married and sealed for time and eternity in the Washington, D.C. temple.
And that was the happiest day of my life.
We will be celebrating our 10 yr anniversary in June.
He is such a huge blessing in my life and I thank God everyday for him.

I absolutely love looking at people's wedding pictures. What a beautiful Bride and Groom. Thanks for sharing your sweet story.
Love this! One of my favorite things about these kinds of stories is how different the bride or grooms point of views are! I know John and I still don't tell the story the same. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't recognize Steve with hair on top of his head and no facial hair! Great story, though.
Aw, you two are adorable :)
