Since Halloween there hasn't been too much to post about, so I thought I would do a tag. I don't usually do these, but I thought this one was sweet. This is probably more fun for me then for anyone who reads this, but here we go.
1. Where did you meet? We met at BYU. We were in the same ward my very first semester there. So I was a little freshman, and he had been there a couple years already.
2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met? The first time we actually talked was when he came over to my apartment. He liked to go 'girlin' with his roommies, and they stopped by my place. I was getting ready to go on a date, and he was teasing me about dating a freshman boy who didn't have a car. I was surprised that he was paying attention to me because I wasn't used to older guys giving me attention. At that time, I was sort of dating some one else and didn't pay much attention to Brandon. Which oddly enough was one of the reasons that Brandon was attracted to me- he liked the idea that since I was dating another person, I wasn't flirting with other guys- he just wished he was the guy! :)
3. Do you remember what he was wearing? He was wearing a plaid shirt with jeans and this necklace he always used to wear. I did think he was very cute.
4. Where was the first time you kissed this person? Brandon took me on a motorcycle ride up Provo Canyon and then up South Fork Canyon (I think that is what it is called). We stopped at this park, and we were walking up a trail that followed a little river. We were walking over a little bridge, and he very sweetly kissed me. In my mind, it was the perfect first kiss.
5. Where did you go for your first date? We went shotgun shooting in Mapleton, ate lunch at BrandX Burgers, and then went to his apartment and played darts and ate otter pops.
6. When were you officially a couple? I would say when we first kissed, which was a week after we started dating.
7. How did he ask you out? I used to work in the office of the apartment complex we lived in. Part of my job was to call references on all of the applicants. One of the applicants put Brandon down as a reference because Brandon was his boss. So I called Brandon to ask him a few questions about this individual, and Brandon said, "Do you know who this is?" I told him yes, and then he asked me out.
8. Has this person ever proposed to you? When Brandon proposed, we already knew we were going to get married so I was expecting it, but not so soon. I knew something was going on that night because my roommie told me to clean my room. Brandon re-created our first date, but he didn't tell me what we were doing. So we went shotgun shooting in Mapleton, and I accidently hit Brandon with a clay target. Anyways, I started crying because I felt so bad and so stupid. After the crying episode, we got burgers and went to his friend's apartment (I didn't know who's apartment it was though). We walked inside and there was rose petals and candles. We ate our hamburgers by candle light, and then we played darts. The ring was in the center of the dart board- it took me a little while before I realized it was there. Once I did, Brandon got the ring and proposed. I was ecstatic with joy!! Then we went back to my apartment and there was a trail of rose petals, candles, and candy into my bedroom. On my bed was a lot of roses. It was very sweet. :)
9. Do you have kids together? Cute Canon and a turkey in the oven.
10. Have you ever broken the law with this person? I can't think of a time.
11. When was the first time you realized that you liked him? Brandon and I knew each other for over a year before we started dating exclusive. I came home for conference weekend in October, and I needed a ride back to Provo. Brandon offered to drive me back, so he came and picked me up. On the car ride home, I realized Brandon was an amazing individual who was very sincere, and I was impressed with his motivation for his career and pretty much everything about him. I don't know what was so different about this time that I was with him, but something clicked. We have been together every day since.
12. Do you get along with his family? Yes, I really like spending time with his family.
13. Do you trust this person? Absolutely. I have complete confidence and trust in Brandon.
14. Do you see him as your partner in your future? I don't see a future without Brandon. We really are perfect for eachother in every way. We will always be together.
15. What is the best gift he gave you? I know this is kind of cheesy but himself, Canon, and my little girl. Nothing else is as important to me.
16. What is one thing he does that gets on your nerves? Hmmm..... I know it's lame, but there really isn't anything. If he knows it bugs me, he stops doing it. For example, I hate soggy footprints on the floor after you shower. So he always dries his feet now before he steps out of the shower. He is very sweet that way.
17. Where do you see each other fifteen years from now? I don't really know. Together with our twelve children... somewhere. Just kidding, I don't really want twelve kids.
18. What causes the most arguments? Brandon and I don't really argue. We disagree sometimes, but nothing serious. I know I get really grumpy during the night if he wakes me up, sorry about that Brandon.
19. How long have you been together? Officially together, just over three years.
20. Are you married? Yes, for two and a half years.
Hopefully this wasn't too cheesy or mushy, but I really do adore Brandon in every way. He is my greatest blessing, and I love him so much.
