Wow, I should have started this whole blogging thing a long time ago! I have to start from the beginning and I'll try to keep it short. My husband I met over two years ago at BYU-Idaho in our economics class. I sat next to him in the front row all semester. If anyone knows me at all they know that I don't do economics, business, or politics, but Stephen is really smart so I made him my "study buddy". I put that quotations because really, I just made him do my homework for me. I was pretty mean to him looking back, but I just wanted to see how he would react--I was testing him, if you will. I started dating someone soon after the semester started, but Stephen helped me with my homework regardless every day. I had no interest in him whatsoever, but for some reason I kept doing my homework with him. Stephen lived across the parking lot from me so both our roommates tried to hang out a few times, but it turned out to be really awkward for some reason, so we stopped. I would only call him or meet him in the library if I needed help with my homework. With all the time we spent together I really got to know what kind of a person Stephen was and I was amazed because even though he knew I was dating someone, and I would never hang out with him outside of doing school work, he still helped me faithfully every week. He never complained or gave me some excuse not to help me. our personalities were so much alike and we had quite a bit in common, but I still wasn't interested....or so I would tell myself.
Towards the end of the semester I broke up with my boyfriend. Two weeks later Stephen and I had out first date the weekend after Halloween. We started dating two days later and were engaged seven weeks after that. We were married in the Logan, UT temple and have lived together happily to this day.
