Valentine's Day Getting to Know You...

1. How did you and your husband meet? We met in a Jazz Band class at Hunter High School. Matt's saxophone had just been stolen...and I was assigned to help him transcribe some of the music that was in his saxophone case.

2. How old were you? Matt was a Senior...18 years old. I was a Junior...16 years old.

3. Was it love at first sight? Not really, Matt was totally not interested and I thought Matt was a complete jerk.

4. How long did you date before getting engaged? We dated for two years, until Matt left on his mission, and then another two years once he got home. So either 4 years...or 6 years depending on if you want to count his mission or not.

5. How did he propose? Matt proposed on bended-knee at the Gold Miner's Daughter Lodge in Alta, Utah. We had just spent the day taking ski lessons and had just eaten a candle-light dinner at the lodge. Very Romantic!

6. What was the answer? I said yes right away.

7. When and Where did you get married? We got married on June 4th 2002 in the Salt Lake Temple. We also had a Ring Ceremony at the Castlebrook Reception Center in Layton, Utah.

8. Was it a big wedding? It was a small intimate ceremony and luncheon...with just close family and friends. Although, we did invite almost everyone we had ever met to our reception.

9. Where did you go on your honeymoon? Matt and I spent an amazing eight days in Hawaii. We stayed at a resort and had the time of our lives.

10. Are you still in love? I love Matt so much. I could not image life without him. We have been together for so long now...that it is hard to remember a time that he wasn't a part of my life. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for my loving husband!
