Ben and I were basically living on different planets. But something brought us together. We were meant to be! Ben was living in Cedar City Utah when he decided to move to Idaho Falls to live with his sister. At about that same time I was living in College Station Texas when i decided to move home to Driggs, Idaho. Soon after moving home I moved to Idaho Falls to live with my best friend. This is where Ben and I met. My roommates became friends with Ben and soon I became friends with him as well. Our very first date was to a Collin Ray concert up at BYU-Idaho. From then on we were inseperable!
Ben and I both got accepted to BYU-Idaho and moved to Rexburg in January where Ben spent the semester studying mechanical engineering and I spent the semester studying exercise science. We went through the semester balancing school work and time with each other. Near the end of the semester we planned a weekend with Bens sister and her family to go to a Jazz game in Utah (Bens favorite team). We all stayed at his brother in laws parents house which is where Ben got on one knee and asked me to marry him.
We were able to go down on the court before the game started and play around! |

A couple SHORT months later we were sealed together in the Rexburg Idaho temple. It was truly a great experience that I will remember forever! I am so lucky to have shared that day with my close family and friends. We spent our wedding night in Rexburg and left the next day to spend our honeymoon in California where we spent the next few days at Knotts Berry farm, whale watching, chillin at the beach, and spent an evening at the midevil times dinner. During our honeymoon adventure we got connected with someone who worked with NBC and offered to give us a tour of NBC and gave us our free tickets to Universal Studios!
