the story.
craig and i met up at ricks (byu-idaho) in early 2004. he had been home from his church mission for about four months. he served in the Raleigh, North Carolina mission. I was starting my third semester at college.
he was VERY excited ( i mean, not normally so) that we were both from the seattle area. he would bring it up all the time. at one point i thought that was the only reason he was dating me! however, we loved spending time with each other and quickly became best friends.
after a couple of months of dating, craig wanted some time "getting his grades back up" and so we split up! :) it was really sad, but i think an important time for us to grow......
until, at the very end of that semester he called me and asked if he could see me one last time before we left for the summer. and the rest, as they say, was history.
we dated for another year and half . and towards the end of that time period my "missionary" came home. craig wasnt too happy about it but i felt it was important to date that guy for a little bit... to see if there was anything there..... (we had dated all throughout high school) it turned out that we were better off as friends. so craig and i got married four months later.
we got married in the LDS seattle temple and went to Manhattan for our honeymoon. shortly after returning from new york, we packed our stuff up and moved to orange county. craig sold pest control and i found LOUIS. after that summer we went back to ricks to finish up our last semester. craig got his bachelor degree in biology and chemisty. i got my associates degree (mom, be quiet) in general studies. we then moved to seattle so that craig could attend university of washington dental school.
and that brings us up to the present. i tried to be as brief as possible. i just wanted all of my old friends to know how i bagged such a winner.
