Halloween

Halloween happened between the time Kirk and i started dating and got engaged and it could have been a make it or break it moment! I HATE haunted houses...i literally go crazy and freak out! Well i got tickets online for mini golf, go carting and a haunted house at Sunsplash basically to impress Kirk! haha We went and had lots of fun...until we went into the haunted house! Kirk had no idea but i tried to play it cool! i started to get nervous then like 15 seconds into it i kinda froze...even the scary lady chased me into a corner and said "um, you have to keep going" haha then i really freaked out! Kirk was being such a gentlemen and protecting me from everything even when i head butted him in the face! Once we finally made it out he said "why didnt you tell me you didnt like haunted houses?" and i told him i wanted him to enjoy it! Well, he'll never make that mistake again! haha

Conference & Park City

So I had been wanting to go to conference super bad! I had never been and finally got 2 tickets! I was way excited but needed someone to go with.....I was a little nervous to ask Kirk cause we hadnt been dating that long but I thought it would be a good bonding moment! So I told him I had an extra ticket and he said he would go! He even told me he had family that lived in Provo so we could stay with them! Which meant...I would meet the family! 8 of them! On the plane ride there Kirk had a packet of questions that we asked eachother and it was fun to get to know eachother! Kimber picked us up and we stayed in Scott and Meagan's extra bedroom! They were all really nice and welcoming!
Conference was awesome! We got pretty good seats on the balcony in the front row! It was a huge building! It was great seeing all the apostles and the prophet!

One of the days we were there Scott and Meagan took us to Park City! We walked around the shops, the winter olympic sports museum and went up the ski lift and down the alpine slides!

Pumpkin Carving

I love pumpkin carving! You get to make anything you want, be creative, another excuse to get together with family and friends and its the beginning of a roll of holidays! Ive never been afraid to get down and dirty with the "pumpkin guts"! In high school some friends and i carved pumpkins and i was the only one to stick my hand down in it and grab all the slimy stuff out...everyone else used spoons! So, i threw it at them and told them to stop acting like girls! (they were guys btw)

Anyways, our friends got together and had some pumpkin fun!

Kirk and I tried to make the Salt Lake Temple but it ended up looking more like a haunted house...not quite the look we were going for! 

Austin and Marcie made a classic pumpkin face

Jodi and Aaron worked forever on theirs

And so did Brad and Melisha! 

The Beginning

I think it would be a good idea to start from the beginning! Kirk and i met in December of 2010...we had the same group of friends that always hung out and did fun things together! I always thought kirk was a gentleman and we always said hi to each other! After a few months went by it was May and kirk was leaving for the summer to go sell in Houston! I remember the last time i saw him was at a restaurant with some friends and i was saying bye to many of them that were leaving! Anyways, summer went by, i hung out with friends and worked! In the middle of August i got a phone call from Kirk! He was home and wanted to hang out since we hadnt seen each other in a while! So we got together and talked and just hung out! He was so awesome! A gentleman, easy and fun to talked to, and wanted all the same things i did! I was hooked! It took a little while for me to warm up to the idea but i couldnt stay away from him so we started to date! It wasnt long before we both realized we had found our eternal companion! We were engaged in November and married in March! More on that later :)
