John and I met in our singles ward. He says it was at a combined ward activity, and I swear it was at an FHE where we were moving materials to our new meeting house. Either way, I'm pretty glad we met!
One night a friend and I decided to go see "Divergent" with some people from the ward. John was among them. After the movie we went to IHOP where I tried to sneakily fight hard to sit next to him. He was pretty quiet, but funny at the same time. Oh, and of course, cute.
Our next adventure was to go see "Captain America" and then attend the YSA dance with friends. I took the opportunity to teach him how to swing dance, and he took the opportunity to ask me to slow dance. And let me tell ya, I was impressed. The man can dance! After the dance a large group of us went out to Whataburger. As luck would have it, John and I got our food together, sat down together, and no one sat next to us even though there was plenty of room, and we had many friends there. John and I spent the next four hours talking, and I felt some comfortable and at home; a feeling I hadn't felt yet after having moved to San Antonio.
After a bonfire one night, lots of flirting at Institute, and an adorable phone call, John and I had our first date April 11th. I can honestly say that we have seen each other everyday since then. Seriously. Not kidding. Even when I left for two weeks to go to Nebraska and Georgia. Skype became our best friend. We got engaged in July when I came home from my trip (you'll have to ask me about that one), and we were married on November 22nd. It was such an incredible day! I am so thankful that I moved to San Antonio, and even more grateful God blessed me with John. I could not have asked for a better partner in love and in life.
So there you have it, World. I'm married! Be sure to check back to see our crazy shenanigans and fun times!
I love him.
