Our Love Story

~Potato BOY MEETS Colorado GIRL~
It was June 2006 and I decided the month before to take a vacation to see my family in Idaho. Little did I know what was in store for me there.
So I got to Idaho on a friday night. That saturday my Aunt Tami and Uncle Rod wanted me to go to their church with them to "drop something off". What they really meant was introduce me to Kevin. So we made it to the church. I had no clue what was going on and all the sudden I see my uncle coming around the corner with this scruffy looking, kinda cute looking guy. Kevin came up to me and shook my hand I could tell he was so nervous. The next day I went to church saw Kevin for like a second and that was it.
~THE SET UP~
My Uncle and Aunt invited him over for a BBQ on tuesday night. I was a little freaked out. Kevin was nervous again, he kept moving around in his chair. He asked me tons of questions and I tried to do the same, but I'm a little shy at first. I would rate that night as okay. Wednesday he found me on myspace invited me to go to applebees with a group of his friends, so I went.
I would have to say it was the worst night I had in a while. There was a girl who really liked Kevin and her sister made sure that Kevin didn't sit next to me the whole time or even drive me home. It was a disaster!
I flew back to Colorado thinking oh well. Kevin emailed me that night apologizing for the applebees night and saying how he wished we could of spent more time together. So we emailed or myspaced each other for a couple months.




~THE ROAD TRIP~
I took a road trip at the end of July with my brother Chad. We of course came to Idaho. By now I had been texting a calling Kevin a few times. This is how it went
--Saturday night I went with Kevin to see his friend Dustin. After getting lost for like an hour we made it to our destination. Went to Red Robin then later out to coffee at One More Cup.
--Sunday we hung out at the church BBQ and then went to El ta Nampa because we didn't eat at the BBQ.
--Monday I went over to his families house and played Apples to Apples (this is the night that Kevin said he started to think "hey I really like this girl"
--Tuesday night we went on a double date with John and Chandra to Hong Kong and then went to play miniature golf. Later that night Kevin asked me to be his girl:) You could not wipe the smile off of my face!
We went on a date every night the rest of the week and even had our first kiss! Until I had to say goodbye for a little bit.
Long Wait~
We Dated long distance for about 5 months flying back and forth to see each other. Talking on the phone for 2 hours every night. Then we decided I should move to Idaho.







TOGETHER~
On December 16th 2006 I packed my car as full as a car should be packed and headed to Idaho with my mom. It was a crazy trip, we hit a blizzard in Wyoming and almost hit a deer in twin falls. But after a 22 hour drive which should of only been 16 hours we made it to our destination. It took me forever to get a job in Idaho. I started to feel depressed about that whole thing but kept my faith. I knew that God had brought Kevin and I together. Plus I missed my family like crazy!
POP THE QUESTION~
On May 18th 2007 after 9 months of dating. Kevin took me to TGIF for dinner. It was a double date with his brother and girlfriend. We went to the mall and took goofy pictures in one of those photo booths. When we got back to Kevins house he said "do you want to play a game?" I was like okay? So it was a scavenger hunt. Very creative! and it ended up taking me to the place where we first met....the church parking lot!
That's when I knew...He got down on his knee and said so many amazing things we both started to cry. Later that night we went to his families house to show off the bling and his mom took pictures... everyone was so excited.
We got married 3 months later on August 25th! I am truly blessed to have such an amazing man in my life.
