The Story of Us

We were both working basic training, that's when first realized the other existed. He had just returned from his mission. At the start of school we ran into each other at our Commitment dinner where we exchanged numbers and became friends. I would edit his papers and he would ask me out on dates. I would always turn him down because at the time I was dating someone else. Upon breaking up with the guy, Zed jumped on the opportunity for me to say yes. We took a couple months to get to know each other and began dating on his birthday. For the next year we went on a ton of adventures from 8 mile hikes in 9* weather to cave exploring to running out of gas on the highway. We were also able to get to know each other's families and our parents were able to get to know each other.

A few days after our one year anniversary Zed proposed. We were sitting on the Colorado Avalanche's team bench during warm ups and he turned and asked me if he had to get down on one knee. I said of course and added there had to be a cheesy line and pictures. He took the camera out of my hand, gave it to the person next to him and got down on one knee. I said yes and we're currently busy planning 3 receptions.

We're having one reception in Colorado right after our temple wedding. We'll be having another in Michigan for my dad's family and a final one in Maryland for my mom's family and my high school friends. These are spaced out such that we'll be vacationing across the nation in order to make each. Concerts are also scattered throughout the 60 days.

We're so excited for the future and thank all of our loved ones for their support throughout the years.
