FLASHBACK FRIDAY

Last week I went to an enrichment activity where we had various ladies tell us their love story with their husbands, families etc...I being one of the lucky speakers. So, I thought, for family history purposes, I would relay the story of Adam and me - and it still makes me smile when I think about it!

It all started back in 7th grade when his gradeschool and my gradeschool joined to go to the same jr. high - South Bonneville Jr High. I met him through classes and thought he was nice and we became friends, sort of...I remember he used to torment one of my good friends by hooking her locker lock on her coat hooks at the top of her locker (which she was too short to reach). At the end of the year, I went through my yearbook and put little things on everyone's pictures....Adam's pic said "perv" (oh how sweet huh?!?)

In 8th grade is when I started to get a crush on Adam - we had more classes together - I remember sitting right next to him in Mrs. Hansen's science class and thinking he looked a lot like Patrick Swayze - HOT!!

Fast forward a few years to our junior year in high school - we still had a good amount of classes together (Mr. Peterson's history, Mrs. Meacham english) we would sit next to each other and talk, give each other back rubs, hand massages (I know, you're all thinking, "get a room!") so the teachers started to tease us about dating...our first date came about in Mr. Peterson's history class. I bet Adam that I could shoot a paperwad in the wastebasket, and if I did, he would have to take me on a date. I made the basket and we were off on a date the next weekend. We went to Frontier Pies for dinner and then a movie (although I don't remember what the movie was) we began "going out" end of that year and had a great summer together!

We dated all our senior year and then into our college years. Adam went on an LDS mission to Brazil for 2 years and I continued on in my education while writing him the whole time.

We started dating when he got back even though he went to school at BYU and I was still at BSU...we got engaged on July 3, 1998 and married August 14, 1998. So, we are coming up on 11 years of marriage in August. Adam truly is and has been my best friend for the longest time!! I love him and hope "our love story" is far from over!
