The Love Story Begins




So I guess this is the time to tell how we met... I have my family to blame they introduced me to this hottie. Like I said earlier Eric joined the church when he was at college, his grandma was instramental in that event. He got called to serve his mission in the Santa Rosa area where my parents just happened to live. My dad was the bishop at the time in the Middletown California Ward and had close contact with the Elders. Dad couldn't figure out why he was supposed to be the bishop, we always told him it was because his hair needed to change color (grey) and now I know that his being bishop was instramental in my family getting to know this foxy guy and finding out that he was my perfect match.

Me on the other hand, I was at college in Sacramento trying to get myself through Radiology school and going crazy. I never really knew Eric, saw him a few times, but he looked young, and I DON'T really have a thing for younger guys so I never thought anything of him. He went home and thats when the whole sceme unfolded. My family all "promised" him that they would stay in touch...well long story short they never told me that I was the only one contacting him probably looking like a RM chasin hussy! So heres a few pics of us on our first date. We kept in contact for a few months and I realized he was a pretty neat guy, so we decided to meet up at General Conference in SLC. I was so nervous to meet him and he was too I tried to look so good for him but April in Utah isn't always as nice as the rest of the world is at the time. It rained all the way there and the lines going out of the conference center were outrageously long. I was frozen and he held my hands to keep me warm. We both didn't know how to tell eachother that we had feelings for one another, but no need Elder Nelson in the quorm of the twelve apostles did it for us. He gave a talk about dating and how men need to take the iniciative, so Eric took cue and asked me to date him after conference. The feelings I felt when he asked me were like nothing I had ever experienced before, this guy was different and I could see myself marrying this guy... I know right on the first date??
