Two years and counting!!

Two years ago this past weekend   i met the wonderful man who I call my husband, my life, my everything. How swiftly these two years have flown by, along with them so many moments of Joy, peace, happiness, love, along with frustration, lots of learning lessons like how to work as a team and compramise as well. I can't believe that two years have flown by since that day in Nauvoo Il. where we met at a YSA conference. The first night and during the middle of the first dance. Oh the smile and sweet memories that come from that first meeting. After spending time talking, Adam asked me to dance to a McJaguar song... haha its the first time I have ever turned a guy down who asked me to dance but quickly reasured him that I would dance with him on the next slow song. Adam in turn made a bet with me... If he could do a 360 and land it I would have to get out and dance with him. How glad I am that I lost that bet and then spent the rest of the time on the dance floor. 

     A wonderful weekend followed with a walk to the temple during the second dance, great lessons taught during our workshops, the giving of a jacket becuase I didn't check the weather before packing during our walk on the temple grounds, the shyness of holding hands for the first time and then a goodbye hug and an unsureness of what was going to happen. How grateful that I am that on the way home I texted him and asked "where are we leaving things?" his response " I don't see how it will work with the distance" and my reply of " I agree to disagree". How grateful I am that I asked that question and said, "I agree to disagree"

     And the rest..well the rest is history!  All during the following week we texted in-between his classes and homework. He came down for Thanksgiving after fly to Vegas to Nathan Powelson's wedding. We both knew before the end of the week that we were meant to be together forever. We even went and just looked at rings before he headed home. After he left I told my family that I knew Adam was who I was suppose to marry. 

     A long month later he was back on his way down for Christmas Break :) The day after he got here we went and bought my ring and then came the wait of seeing when he would propose. We went out one night and had rolondo's for dinner down town and then Adam wanted to ride the Ferris wheel that was just down the rode. So thats what we did. As we got there I had to go to the bathroom, Adam is forever grateful that I drank so much water at dinner. While I was gone he bought our tickets and then asked the lady working the Ferris wheel if she would stop at the top. After going around a couple times we stopped at the top...I thought it was to let more people on seeing as how we were the only two on there. That is where Adam proposed... at the top of the Ferris wheel. And it was perfect!! We came back down to cheers and applaluse, my family all there taking pictures, holding a dozen roses.

   We were married 6 months later on June 7th 2013. Some day I'll go into more detail about the time between December and June. And life has been so wonderful and happy ever since.

This weekend to celebrate our two years of knowing each other we went to the temple in OKC and had just a wonderful day, "car shopping" on the interstate, talking about the past two years and wondering what all the future holds for the two of us. After a wonderful time in the temple we headed back home to go to Olive Garden to celebrate. 

     We got right into the resturant and of all the empty tables, we sat at the same table , same sides that we sat on during our first date. I think we even ordered the same thing we had then too..

How grateful I am for these past two years and with much joy and love I look forward to the years to come.
