Ogden

I hated when people said I was from Ogden. I always made it very clear I was from North Ogden, not so ghetto in my opinion. When Dean and I got married we moved to the dreaded Ogden, which actually was very nice. We were able to rent a huge home on the east bench near Maylan's Peak. It was more like house sitting really, we only paid $100 a month. Our plan was to live there until the following July and then move to Rexburg and both finish school. As life would have it we only lived there one month and then Dean got a job offer with Westates. We finished the semester and moved to Thatcher Idaho. O at this house we did get our first little pet together. Dean wanted to buy a dog. I thought it was dumb to buy a dog because my dad always said if you wait long enough a good dog will come around for free. I gave in and we bought Blue. Dean paid $100 for him but I made him tell my family it was only $50.

Honeymoon in Vegas

We were originally planning on California but the weather was going to be cold so we just decide to go cheap. We stayed in Logan one night and then St. George the next. We ended up in Vegas. It was fun to take Dean because he had never been before, he thought the whole city should burn. The entire time we were is Vegas he just kept saying this place is so dirty, these people are so dirty, I'm pretty sure he hated it. We still managed to have a good time.

Engagements

Engaged

Dean moved to Utah at the end of Fall Semester. He lived with his grandparents in Farr West. He continued to go to CSI through online classes. My brother got him a job at Saunders Construction. Dean purposed to me at his house on January 7th 2007. He had tried to carve it into the first tree he ever carved our names into but the snow was not deep enough to snowmobile to but too deep to take a 4-wheeler. He opted for another tree, I went up in the middle of the night and carved in it. The next morning I woke up and showered and got ready for the day. He said lets go on a wheeler ride, I said no, it was cold and snowing and my hair would go curly. He would not stop asking so finally I gave in. On the way up the hill he was telling me how much he loved me and I was thinking - then why are we out here in the cold. He stopped and we walked to this tree while I was looking at the tree he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I didn't even answer I just said, "you didn't ask my dad yet" he told me that he had I just didn't know and then he asked me again. I obviously said yes and the rest is history.

Dating...

Dean and I dated from May '06 - January '07. He worked at Trails West building trailers in Preston that first summer. In the Fall he moved to Twin Falls to go to school at CSI. There he Worked for Double A dairy as a yard maintenance man. He came to my house almost every weekend, and we talked on the phone every night. I was working at Farmers Insurance and going to Weber State University. I was not a very nice girlfriend, I think I was afraid of commitment and he just kept coming around (I secretly think he could not believe that I wasn't groveling at his feet like the girls in Grace did). I knew I liked him to much to break up with him but had to be just mean enough to keep him on his toes. I'm so glad he put up with me and finally asked me to marry him. I love him so much and I did then too I just had a hard time admitting it.
