Our Dating Era

So while Josh was giving me attention he also had another girl. Yes, you heard me right, another girl over in Ephriam. I knew about her and also knew that Josh didn't like her that much so I wasn't too worried. But according to Josh, he was just waiting for me to go on my mission and didn't think we would end up anywhere. He just thought of me as a friend... with benefits. But he did call almost every night or he would drive up after work from Nephi and come hang out. My roommates loved him... well almost all of them. One even told me that if I decided to dump him, she wanted him. Around New Years, I told Josh to stop the toucher on the other girl and just dump her already. He did.

Anyway, I would have him come to church with me and to FHE and other outings and he would come along. My bishop liked him cause he could speak Korean and so could Josh, well kinda, at least enough to pass the military test and say he could. Then came the time when I could get my mission papers. I went and talked to my bishop and was thinking about possibly not being with Josh anymore and my bishop could only talk about Josh and how I'm good for him and that marriage is hard but possible and really didn't talk much about a mission but still gave me my papers. Needless to say, there was a lot of them and I didn't fill out a single one. He put me in a preparing for the temple class and kinda changed my mind on things. In April, Josh invited me to go on a river trip with his uncle Blake and a few other guys. It was really fun and it made me starting thinking about things.



Also around that time, my family and his family went on a four-wheeling trip out to the San Rafel Swell and on the way home I was teasing Josh and typed in his watch "how about Aug before school"... Thats all I said. I knew he wanted to go up to Logan for school and having a long distance relationship was hard. Delta and Mapleton are about a 100 miles apart and I wanted to see him more. Well, he never said anything about that and we kept seeing each other.



In May 2005, Josh was talking to his tosser Craig and said something to the fact that I wanted to get married in Aug before school started. Well, Craig told Josh's brother Ryan and Ryan told his mom.. and his mom likes to tell people good news.... So I guess we're getting married?

On mothers day, I decided to talk to Josh about this and decided that none of us minded it if it happened. I knew that he was the one for me cause I could still manage to like him for more than 2 weeks, unlike all the other guys in my life. Yes, I also prayed about it. So we decided that we had better tell my parents before they heard from someone else.

Thats how it happened. We planned for the wedding to be Aug 12th in the Manti Temple. Josh had an army school to go to for 3 weeks, a week before our wedding and then school started shortly after. We went to Reno/Sparks/Lake Tahoe, Nv for our honeymoon and then came back for a reception and made the long trip up to Logan where we had our first apartment together.
