FuN iN tHe SuN

So last Saturday Chris and I were invited to go up to Pineview and hang out with Chris's sister Amy and her in-laws. When we got there everyone ate lunch and then we headed down to the beach area to go have some fun. Chris, Phil and Phil's dad jumped right in. As for Me, Amy and her Mother-in-law, it took us a while to go under completely. The water was a bit chilly. We had fun swimming around and enjoying our hot summer day.

These pictures make me laugh histarically. Chris and Phil are the biggest goofs i've ever met. My favorite is the mermaid pose...oh excuse me... "mer-man!"

Even though Amy hates pictures of herself, I am still putting this one up. I love this one, and both of them are BEAUTIFUL! Tae's face was red cuz she was crying. She didn't like being in the water, but she loved floating around with Hannah (her aunt) on the inner tube.


When Chris and I got hot after laying out, we wanted to run and jump into the water again. We held hands and ran together. ( yes we are dorks, but we're newleyweds so we can be) Right when we got to the water I BIFFED it! haha that's why you only see Chris in the pic. I got a mouth full of nasty lake water. We had a great time at the lake. Got some sun and enjoyed each others company.

I Jumped on the Bandwagon...

Welcome to our blog! I finally joined the "cool" people and I'm trying to figure out how this whole blogging thing works...so far so good ( thanks to whit). Well I think for my first post I want to tell you where Chris and I are at in our lives and how we got here.

How We Met

Back in August of '08 I was working as a waitress at a Chinese restaurant in Kaysville. Stacy and Eric, who are Chris's sister and bro-in-law, came in often with their kids. Every time they came in I was always there server. I even had their order memorized cuz they came in so frequently and never ordered anything different haha. After serving them one day I went to refill their drinks and ask if they needed anything else. While I was doing that, I noticed that Stacy and Eric had grins on their faces and were nudging one another. Finally, Stacy asked if I had a boyfriend? I told her no I didn't and asked why? Smiling... She told me how cute she thought I was and how she wanted to set me up with her little brother, who she just raved about. I told her sure, so she took my number and gave it to Chris.

Chris and I texted and set up a lunch date for our first date. I was kinda nervous cuz I never liked "blind dates" but excited at the same time. We met up at Noodles 'N Company over in Layton and had lunch. My first impression of Chris when I saw him for the first time was, he was super cute and had a gorgeous smile. The date went so well...Chris talked my ear off, he barely ate. He told me it was because he was nervous :) After lunch we took a ride in my new car and continued our conversation. We clicked from the beginning. Ever since then we've been inseparable!

He asked me to marry him Nov of '08 and we were married and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 29, 2009. It was the happiest day of my life, being married to Chris has been the greatest blessing to me. He is a great husband, brother and friend. I know he will always take care and provide for me and our future children. We currently live in main town Farmington, and we love it here! I work for a doctors office in Bountiful and Chris works at Wells Fargo down in SLC. We have awesome work schedules and we have so much time to spend together or with family and friends! I have loved this first year of marriage and I hope it only gets better. So hopefully this gives you a little idea of where we are at in our lives and how we came together. Sorry bout the long post.
