The Story of Us....According to Brian
A boy from Southern California and a girl from Idaho meet while going to school in Utah, get married and move to Texas for a year and then settle in Oregon. Our story in a nutshell, but if you want more details - keep reading.
In an education class at BYU is where our story begins:
During a group activity fate had us as partners. I fell for her right away and quickly found her to be as smart, funny, and sweet as she was beautiful. She must have felt the same because she laughed at my jokes and came to sit by me the next day.
She eventually fell victim to my charm as I sought any and every opportunity to be with her. We talked before, during, and after class (I was conveniently headed in whichever direction that she happened to be going). At the chance of seeming like a stalker I persisted, and the rewards turned out to be eternal.
We fell in love, met the parents, and soon enough (or finally – depending on who you ask) we were engaged. We were sealed in the Boise Idaho Temple on December 27th, 2005. It was dark, it rained, and then came the blizzard, but it was the most beautiful day of my life.
For our honeymoon we traded in the snowy mountains of Idaho for the sunny beaches of the Caribbean. We took a cruise leaving out of Houston that stopped in Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. It was magical to say the least. Room service, warm sunny beaches, and marital bliss – who could ask for more?
After the honeymoon we lived in Provo while I did my student teaching and Lindsay finished her classes. Then came the opportunity we just couldn’t pass up – Texas! Sounds like an adventure. BYU had a program that placed student teachers in Houston and the same district offered me a job. We traveled all over the South, made friends, and had some great experiences.
While we loved our time in Texas we always knew that we wanted to be back in the West, closer to family and friends. We had a special feeling about Oregon and after a crazy summer and a string of miracles we knew that this is where the Lord wanted us. We love Oregon!
I’m glad that I went to class that fateful day where we were first paired up. Lindsay has continued to be my partner, my best friend and my soul mate.
