My Best Friend

Happy Valentine's Day Sweetheart, I love you with all my heart.  You're the only woman who has ever literally made my heart skip a beat. I still struggle to understand why you married me when you did, but I thank Heavenly Father every day you did.  I don't think it is a secret that before I met you I was incomplete and I was lost.  I was unambitious, complacent, and my life lacked purpose. You opened a whole new world to me, you made it okay for me to think that someday I could be better than I was.  You saw me for the man I could become and helped me realize how to get there.  It is because of you I can enjoy our journey together and I no longer think "I will be happy when  this or that happens." Thank you for being you, thank you for caring for Jaxon and Addison, and thank you for being my best friend.   I Love You.

 I thought it would be interesting to read your first blog post

I'm sure everyone that will be reading this already knows our story, but I'm going to share it anyway so I hope you enjoy!

Dan and I were supposed to be set up on a blind date when we were both juniors in high school, he ended up going with someone else but a few months later we did go on a date and ended up having a lot of fun! For some strange reason though, he never called me after that date. Then, a few months after that, we ran into each other at the mall. (We both feel that was not a coincidence at all). That night he told me that he had received his mission call and would be leaving shortly to the Dominican Republic where he would serve for two years. We hung out a few times before he left and he asked for my address and off he went. We ended up writing the whole two years he was out and we got to know each other really well through letters. During that time I went to Ecuador and worked for 3 months in orphanages there and loved every second of it!!!

Dan got home from his mission on October 18th 2006 and we went on our first date on October 20th 2006. We dated other people for the first little bit while we were dating, but eventually we became a "steady" couple. On March 16th 2007 Dan proposed to me and we were married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 26, 2007 and lived happily ever after!
