Ben has said a couple times this week how much he loves being married, and I couldn't agree more! I love being married and especially to Ben! Recently I had a friend do a couples post....so I used her format and did one of my own!


20 Questions


1. Where did you meet?
We met in our institute class at USU. He stood up to give a scripture thought and I knew he was very special!

2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
Ok this boy is so cute! I have got to get rid of the boy friend that I have ASAP! He talked to me after class and all I could say when he asked me about river guiding was yea it was fun....and then walked away.

A Moab four-wheeling shirt, his black glasses, chacos and jeans

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person?
Outside of his apartment. We were saying goodnight and before I could get into my car he put his hand on the door and kissed me!  

5. Where did you go for your first date?

We went on a hike up Logan canyon. We did the crimson trail. The leaves were changing and it was beautiful. The whole time I was nervous to be with this cute boy so I just talked about going on a mission so he wouldn't think I liked him.....when I really was head over heels!

6. How long did you know this person before you became a couple?

After we went on our first date we spent EVERY day together. The only time apart from the beginning to the wedding was when he went on a family ski vacation to Canada for a week. That was the longest week of both of our lives!

7. How did he/she ask you out?

Well actually for our first date I asked him out! We had been eyeing each other for a couple weeks in institute, and one day we ended up on the same bus ride home, and we were the only ones on the bus. So we were forced to finally talk. Before he could get off I asked him if he wanted to go hiking. He hesitated because he was studying for his woody plants class. Which was a really hard class. But of course he chose right and decided to go with me instead of studying!
