About Us

Since this is our first blog post I thought I should write a little bit about our story.

Jared served a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served his mission in Roseville, CA. Jared returned home from his mission in April. About a week or two later he went to institute and that is where I saw him for the first time. It was both our first time there so we had to stand and introduce ourselves. I thought he was really cute and he said that I was really cute. We didn't get a chance to talk that night after class. However, the next at class he came and sat next to me and we talked most of the class time. After we exchanged numbers (since he was fresh off of his mission he had a hard time figuring out how to put my number in his cell phone... it was so cute!). Two days went by without me hearing from him so I decided to be the first to contact him. I sent him a text message and we went out on our first date that night.

Exactly 3 months from that night he proposed to me. It was the most amazing proposal ever! He took me to the beach and I though he was going to propose to me right there but he didnt. So, then we went to Seal Beach and he had made me a picnic. So before we ate our picnic dinner he gave me a red rose, and started to talk about the past, then he gave me another rose and talked about the present, and lastly he talked about the future and the rose that he gave me was actually my ring box. It was so magical! Later that night we went on a gondolla ride in Long Beach.

So we set our date and were married on February 16, 2008 in the Newport Beach Temple. It was the most amazing day of our lives. We now live in La Habra, CA. Jared is currently going to Fullerton College and working with his dad at Conrol Air Corporations. I am currently working with my dad at Taylor-Dunn Corporation. We are so much in love and love the married life.
