4 years!!

Me and Dane had our 4 year anniversary yesterday, and it's been a great 4 years!! I could write a novel on the millions of things that I love about Dane but I'm afraid I'd get too mushy so I'll tell him myself. Instead I'm going to write a novel on how we met:

After highschool me and my best friend Tessa went down to Snow College (one of the best times of my life!!) While most people spend most of their college careers in the library, me and Tessa spent most of ours at the hot tub at our apartment. So one night we suited up for our usual activities and went out to the hot tub and I spotted the most beautiful man I have ever seen!! I didn't think that a person that good looking could exist! (too mushy?) So I tried every trick I knew to get his attention and I feel like a total idiot admitting that that stuck-up little brat didn't give me the time of day...but his roomate did, and I wasn't going to pass up attention from a member of the Snow College football team! (yes, I have always been impressed by titles) plus, I had an in!! So we went on a few dates, and then one night he invited me and Tessa over to watch a movie with some of his roomates so I show up with my fingers crossed, and sure enough there's Dane...so I casually sat down next to Dane on the couch and then his roomate came and sat on the other side of me and brought a blanket along and began to cuddle, somehow by the end of the night the blanket had shifted from me and his roomate to me and Dane...wierd. We talked through the whole movie and finally the roomie left us alone and went to bed and me and Dane talked some more and the rest is history. We had a fun and interesting dating life but that would REALLY be a long story if I started into that. And 8 months later we were married!

As a side note, as far as Dane's memory goes movie night was the first night we met...he doesn't even remember the night that I fell in love at first sight with him!! A couple of times he has tried to lie to me and claim that he remembers but the fact that he can't tell me ANYTHING about that night kind of gives him away.

Washington DC

Beck is becoming a world traveler. He's already been from one side of the country to the other... it only took me till I was 22 to accomplish that. We just got back from Washington DC with Myrna and Doug and had an awesome time!

We went out last September with my parents so we figured we would probably do a lot of the same things but this was a completely different vacation the only thing we did again was Arlington cemetery which is worth going to twice anyway. This time we did Ford's theater, Gettysburg, Museum of American History, and a twilight tour of all the monuments.

The first two days Doug had meetings so me and Dane went and found ourselve an apartment in Virginia for when we move out there this summer. We didn't know if we would be able to find one that quick but we met some super nice people at the airport from Manti who's son-in-law goes the the same school that Dane is going to so they gave us their daugther's number and we called her and she was also really nice and let us come check out her apartment. While we were outside her place we met even more people from Utah that were hanging around outside and even some missionaries and they all lived in this same complex so we were REALLY excited.

They told us one other place to look and we weren't even going to bother because we loved all the people at the first apartments so much, but we decided to check them out anyway and as soon as I saw them from the outside I fell in love!! They are just little townhouse apartments but I love them! And once again we were just riding around the parking lot checking out houses and saw a guy in scrubs so we stopped to ask a few questions about the apartments and he ended up being from Utah too and totally just let us invade his house and look around their place too!! And while we were there we looked out their back yard and there were yet another pair of missionaries walking through the yard. I thought I would be a little out of my element in Virginia...apparently not!! We loved both places and loved the people we met at both places, so we signed up for an apartment at the second place and I can't wait to live there!

So don't know if you know Dane's step-dad Doug but that guy LOVES sheep!! haha So the last day we were trying to decide what we still wanted to see before we left and Doug comes into the Hotel room that morning, in a very good mood because he had very good news....there was a sheep festival only miles away in Maryland! haha So after getting totally lost in Maryland we finally found the sheep festival and I think Doug was in heaven, there was sheep, wool, and cooked lamb everywhere. I love how he loves his sheep haha. My favorite part was actually the getting lost in Maryland part, we drove through some of the cutest towns I have ever seen!
