First date to......24th anniversary

ok.....first DON"T LAUGH!!!! This picture was taken sooooo many years ago ya, senior year in High School. Girls choice dance.... I really didn't care to go but my friends talked me into asking Spencer. We didn't have another date till about 3 years later after he returned from his mission. He had "just" returned only been home 3 days. His brother Boyd wanted to go on a double date. He didn't know who to ask. He called someone else and she wasn't home (so I was his second choice). We went to the mountain and watched a movie on a tv in the middle of the woods. They popped popcorn and we had a fun time. We dated a bit during the summer but in the fall, he went to BYU and I moved to SLC to work. We dated just a little but my missionary came home and that was that. My missionary and I got engaged but after just about a week we both knew it wasn't the right thing... so.... Spencer and I started dating again In October, I wasn't sure how he was feeling about things and thought things could be ending (because he broke a date)....we only got to see each other on the weekends because of work and school. Little did I know he had planned to ask me to marry him that day but the weather wasn't cooperating with his plans so was going to ask me later in the week. After me going down to Provo to see him and not being able to find him (because he was in SLC looking for me....) We finally found each other (ya this was pre cell phone era ) he asked me to marry him and 24 years later this is how it ended!


Oh yes, we look alot older and more rounded out but we are truly so happy! Who would have believed that first date that my friends had to BEG me to go on would have ended like this?

Love you so much Spencer! Thanks for loving me too!

I always wondered how you and Spencer hooked up after his mission. Great story that was obviously meant to be. It couldn't have happened to two nicer people. Happy Anniversary! A true love story!

P.S. Who was the missionary you were waiting for? Anyone I know?
