February 12, 1999

On this day I married my best friend and true love...

Our Story:

It was early summer of '98 and I was still living with my parents and working in Salt Lake. My dad was the bishop of my ward at the time and Eric was serving the last weeks of his mission in our area. I remember seeing him and thinking how cute he was, the missionaries would come over when my dad had bishop's chat and I think my parents fed them a couple of times. I was in the process of moving into the city when one Sunday I went to church with my parents and the missionaries (Eric) were speaking in church. I looked at him and "knew" that this was the man I was going to marry. I even mentioned it to a friend at work the next day. Keep in mind that we had never spoken to each other...So since this was Eric's last area and my parents loved him (my dad was/is a techno-geek and so was/is Eric) Eric left my dad a business type card that had his email address on it. Fast forward a couple of months, Eric is now home in Chicago from his mission and I am living in the big city. I came home one weekend to do my laundry and stock up on toilet paper. I was on my dad's computer and something caught my eye.. it was the card Elder Wagner had given to my dad, you know, the one with his email address on it. So I made a quick decision and typed up an email to this very cute return missionary. From that email came more emails and then phone calls and then trips back and forth between here and there. On one of the trips he made here we went to the Roof as the Joseph Smith Memorial building and he proposed to me, that was on 10/31. There were a couple more trips between here and there. We were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple on 2/12/99.. Ten years down and an eternity left to go...I can't wait!!
