Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, since this is the day of love---I thought I'd share our love story! Some of you already know how Jeff and I met, but you'll just have to suffer through this story (sorry). Jeff and I originally met back in 2001 when we both lived in Ogden. He lived with some guys that I worked with. I never actually talked to Jeff, but we were in the same singles ward for a short period of time and we'd say "Hi" to each other. He soon moved down to Provo to go to UVSC. We met again on Valentine's Day 2003. A bunch of single people in my singles ward got together to have dinner at Maddox. A friend of Jeff's from my ward invited him (since Jeff was also single). Jeff and I sat by each other. I couldn't remember his name, but I knew that I'd met him before. He remembered my name (which made me feel bad that I didn't remember his, but also made me feel good that I was so memorable--hee hee). So, we ate by each other and did a little flirting. I thought he'd ask for my number before he left, but he didn't. A couple weeks later I got a call from him. When he said it was Jeff, I didn't remember him. Then he said it was Jeff Bean, but I still didn't remember him. He had to remind me of Valentine's Day at Maddox. I then, of course, remembered him. He obviously couldn't stop thinking about me during those two weeks and so he tracked down my number (this again made me feel good that I was so memorable---haa!).
For that first date we went snowboarding and to a play. We continued going out pretty much every weekend. He ended up moving his job up to Layton so we could be closer. We dated for a year and got engaged Feb. 15, 2004 (the day after Valentine's Day). I told him that he could NOT propose to me on Valentine's Day. I didn't want it to be predictable at all. I like surprises ---and I was surprised (thanks honey!).
We married in the Logan Temple July 2nd, 2004. And we (plus Benson and another on the way) are living happily ever after!

I love you Jeff! Thanks for being such a wonderful husband and daddy!
