While getting a haircut at the hair school in Layton, the girl cutting my hair told me about this girl. She was fun, spoke Spanish, served a mission in DC and loved the outdoors. It was none other than her sister. ;-) After a few emails with Lisa, we decided to have our first date and meet!
Dina, the beautician MATCHMAKER!
FIRST DATE, April 21th, 2007!
Exactly 3 years ago!
I took her to THE RED IGUANA. It is an authentic Mexican restaurant in SLC which has not nearly enough seating. We sat down and started talking.
Because of the wait, there were people waiting to eat and they just stood there watching us about a foot or two away observing our every move as got to know each other.
Finally after awhile, someone yelled from the group and asked if we were on a FIRST date!
We answered YES! They could tell. lol. Then they asked if we met on LDSSINGLES.com. LOL. Nope, was our answer. I guess we looked like a stereotypical couple that met off there. ;-)
NO! We didn’t meet here! ;-)
DATE NUMBER 2 – TO A CAVE WE GO
Since the first date was a hit, we decided to go on a trail to a cave near Farmington. It was fun. I have always been a freak with my cell phone taking pictures, it probably drove Lisa crazy, but here is an actual pic from Date #2. I was just proud to be with her and wanted a pic to show off to all my 7 bros & sis and everyone else who I knew! ;-)
Well, next came DATE #3!
One thing we had in common was our pets! Lisa had a Golden Retriever and I had a St. Bernard. Here we are on a walk in Bountiful with our dogs. DATE NUMBER 3!
I still remember on that 3rd date thinking. She is so cool! I wonder if she likes me too?
Kenya and Brinkley sure hit it off as well! ;-)
We decided to buy SEASON PASSES and went to Lagoon
LISA AND I lived about 20 minutes apart and right SMACK DAB in between us was LAGOON!
We went almost every day! I kind of miss that. It was so much fun! In fact most of our dating was at Lagoon!
On the Gondola at Lagoon with Lisa! DATES 4-44+!
We met in April and in August, I proposed.
I took this picture of Lisa at the Chinese buffet we ate at. I remember thinking how clueless she was about what I had up my sleeve for her later that night!
Later that night , we had gone on a hike above the beautiful Bountiful Temple. There was a spot just perfect looking down on the temple.
It was getting dark and I asked her and she said YES!
That was a fun night!
Then in October 27th 2007 we were married in the Bountiful Temple!
Best thing I’ve ever done!
Then these two hoodlums came long!
AND IT ALL STARTED…. exactly 3 years ago today! WOW!
I guess the moral of the story is….. Go get a haircut? ;-)
