My Love Story

I happen to be married to the most wonderful man in the entire world. And I am literally living my Fairy Tale every single day.

I met Stephen in July of 2010. When I first met him, I wrote him off as some punk kid not worth my time. The next time we met he dropped me on my head (real prince charming stuff). After that little painful incident we talked until 4:00 am. I like to say our relationship started with a bang.

After that, we were inseparable. We saw each other every single day. He kissed me on our first date (it wasn't the first day we met, calm down!) and I fell madly, deeply, head over heels in love with him. We were even brave enough to drive out and see my parents in Missouri within the first month of dating.

Stephen was there for me every single day. Even though I was a psycho crazy girl. That man deserves a medal for putting up with my insanity.Even when I was pushing him away out of fear, he would come right back and tell me he "Wasn't going anywhere!" And he didn't!

In September, he proposed to me in a parking lot. Yes, a parking lot. And it couldn't have been more romantic. No, we had never been there before. And, oddly, we haven't been there since. But, his proposal was the perfect representation of how our relationship works: crazy, unpredictable, romantic, fun that only brings us closer together.

Two months later on November 10, we were married for Time and All eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple. It was by far the best day of my life. I am so lucky to have married my best friend, my knight in shining armor and the man of my dreams.



Stephen is in the army now and we have to spend a lot of time apart. While it isn't easy, I could not be more proud of him. He is going after his dreams, serving his country and being the best soldier the world has ever seen. These months apart may be hard, but they only bring us closer together.

I firmly believe that I married some one better than Superman, Batman, Iron Man and any other man, regular or super powered. He is everything I want to be. He is everything I want and much more than I deserve. I'm sorry for all of the other women in the world because they didn't get to marry him... But, let's be honest, no one ever wants to give up something that is too good for them. And I plan to hold on to this guy until the end of time and beyond!
