We met while we were attending Brigham Young University at a Stake Opening Social. Aaron saw my group of friends on the dance floor and decided to introduce himself. After a few minutes of small talk there was an announcement that a dance competition was starting and Aaron ran off to join in. And that was the last I saw of him for 2 months.
Fast forward to the beginning of November 2006. I went to a movie night with one of my roommates to an apartment in our ward. Lo and behold, Aaron walks in. Having semi-planned this, he asked me if we'd met before. Having forgotten our brief encounter months earlier, I told him that I didn't think we had met. He very casually brushed it off and we watched a movie. After the movie ended we stayed up and chatted until the great BYU curfew. From that day on we were together everyday except two until we got married.
In January 2007 Aaron proposed while in the LDS Conference Center. He arranged for a friend and I to take a tour of the place and the tour guides made sure that we ended where Aaron was hiding with the ring. It was such a great sight to see him walk out and ask me to marry him. It was a beautiful moment that I will always remember!
We were married on April 28, 2007 in the Salt Lake Temple. It was one of the best days in my life. I love that I was not only married to my best friend, but sealed for all eternity. I can't imagine going through life without Aaron by my side. He is the perfect man for me and I'm so glad that we found each other.
After six years of marriage we are still madly in love with each other! We have had our share of ups and downs but most of our marriage has been filled with lots of laughs, lots of love and spending time together. If we were given the choice between doing separate or joint activities, 9.9 out of 10 times we choose to do something together.
We never fight. There are times when we disagree of course, but we are always able to communicate and resolve our issues fairly quickly and easily. The closest we come to fighting is when we get upset about who is serving whom. For example: I want some ice cream for dessert and I ask Aaron if he wants some as well. He jumps up and runs into the kitchen to beat me to get the bowls and spoons out. It turns into a race to see who can serve each other first. It keeps things fun!
