Two Years Ago

It was two years ago today that I met my wonderful husband David. Yes I remember the day that we first met! We met the week before Thanksgiving at a church activity. Friendship night is what they called it. I didn’t really want to go that night, but I decided to go anyway, knowing that I would at least know one person because my roommate Shelley was already there. So I walked over only to find that my roommate was not there anymore and I now didn’t know anyone. I sat down on the couch feeling a little awkward, but I didn’t have too much time to feel awkward before the boy sitting next to me turned to me and said hi. Well, we ended up talking the whole time, probably about an hour and a half. I had a good time and I thought that he was one of the nicest people I had ever met. Eventually I decided that I should probably be heading home, so I left to walk home and as I walked I heard someone coming up behind me and saw that it was David. It turned out that we lived in the same apartment complex and that his apartment was just down the stairs and around the corner from mine, which turned out to be very convenient in the coming months as we started dating seriously. At first I was a little hesitant to get serious with David, not because he wasn’t funny and great and smart and sweet and fun, but just because I was scared. I had dated a lot of really dumb guys in the past that didn’t treat me so well. David was so different than anyone I had dated, which turned out to be exactly what I needed! I know I didn’t make it easy for David when we were dating, but he was great and I’m glad he stuck around. Once I finally got over all of my reservations everything became so wonderful. I fell in love with David quickly once I let myself. I knew that I was supposed to marry him before I even knew that I loved him, don’t ask me how that works. Either way, we got engaged on the 26^th of March and were married 5 ½ months later in the Salt Lake Temple. Now, two years later, we’re happily married, expecting our first baby and looking forward to a long future together. Two years ago who would have know that when we met on a couch in a stranger’s house that this is where we would be now? I sure didn’t know then, but I’m glad I’m where I am now. I love you David! You’ve been my best two years.
