Were did you meet your husband?

Playing on a coed softball team. He was the pitcher, I was the catcher.

What was the first thing he said to you?

I think the first thing he said to me was his name. I had never heard the name Rory before. I wanted to make sure I was saying it right so I could cheer for him when he was up to bat . We had so much fun together.

When was your first date?

Our fist date was about a month after we met. A couple of the guys on the team wanted me to go out with them and their wives one night. I was dating someone at the time and I thought it would be more fun if Rory came instead of the other guy because Rory knew everyone on the team. Anyway, I called Rory up and asked him if he wanted to go with all of us, he said yes and he would come and get me and we would all meet and go out to dinner. Well, Rory couldn't find my apartment, so he was about an hour late picking me up, we just decided to go out to dinner by ourselves. We went to Joe's Crab Shack in Orem. Again, we had such a good time together, everything just felt so natural with him.

When was your first kiss?

Our first kiss was about a month and a half after we met. Like I said before, I was dating someone else so I would only go to lunch with Rory, which left little time to be romantic. So after one of our lunch dates Rory asked if I would ever let him take me out to dinner again. I said yes and we went out to dinner. After that dinner we were sitting outside in his truck talking, he kept moving closer leaning in and I just kept hugging the door. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to kiss him but I was seeing someone else, I already felt bad about that, I wasn't going to feel worse by kissing him too. Well, after about an hour of talking in his truck he walked me to my door, and I think asked if he could use my bathroom. I can't remember why he came into my apartment, anyway, we hugged and then kissed, I don't even think we knew what was happening. It just happened!! And it was so good, I think I was on cloud 9 for days. Needless to say, the very next day I told the other guy that we couldn't see each other anymore :).

Long/short courtship/ engagement?

We had a pretty long courtship. Rory was just taking a few semesters off from school to work, so he was planning on going back up to Logan. I honestly didn't think we would make it much after that. Rory went back to Logan and promised that he would come down every weekend, I thought..."yah right!" but he did, he made that two hour trip every weekend for 2 1/2 years!

We were engaged Feb 11, 2006 @ 11pm. He took me to the softball field where we first met and had flowers on the pitchers mound. We walked over to the pitchers mound and as soon as we got there a heart lit up around the mound and he asked me to marry him. He is so great!!!

When did you get married?

We were married June 21,2006 in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple.

Where did you Honeymoon?

We honeymooned at Daniels Summit for two days, then off to Puerto Rico for a week. We had so much fun! The only down side was Rory got super sunburned the second day we were there, I mean really bad. He was in a lot of pain. I felt so bad for him.
