It all started on our first date 10 years ago... (we have known each other 11 years)

I got the guts to ask a cute guy out to a girl's choice high school dance. He said yes.
A few weeks later he kissed me for the first time. We were pretty inseparable after that.

We graduated from from high school, had a fun summer together (I even had a part time job at the same place Koby worked), then we went to two different colleges in two different states. We broke up and did a little growing up.
A year later Koby went on a mission and we were still friends. We each did a lot more growing up. We wrote each other while he was on his mission and I went to BYU and did an internship to Romania while dating other guys. I did not wait for him on his mission but figured we could see if we still liked each other if I wasn't married when he got back. He came back from his mission, he kissed me the next day, we were engaged a few weeks later, and married 2 1/2 months after that. :) The spark was still there!
We got married on October 24th in the Mt. Timpanogos temple for eternity.

And we are jumping for joy to share the rest of our lives and eternity together with each other (even if I am carrying the load sometimes, and what a load it is! :).


6 years! It is amazing how fast time goes by. I still remember talking about Koby and Chris with you and Liz and wondering what would happen when we all got home and your missionaries got back.

ReplyDeleteThose first two pictures definitely take me back to good old PG High. And then I remember our semester together at Ricks and you wondering what would happen with Koby. I'm so glad that things worked out. Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteI cant believe I met you two for the first time at the same time. 9 years ago, sitting in Mom's kitchen! You guys were such a cute couple and are still cute! I remember lamenting when you guys broke up before Koby's mission- thinking "What the heck!?!He will never find someone as cool and nice as Alicia!" Needless to say I was happy you were there when he got back from the mission!
ReplyDeleteWow, that really brings me back! Congratulations!
