In honor of Valentine's Day and just because I want to I am going to tell you about my amazing husband and best friend Christopher.
I first meet Chris at a fifth ward (Tallahassee's Student/Singles Ward) Family Home Evening. I remember since it was the first FHE close to school starting we were doing little introductions of ourselves and Chris mentioned that he was attending Tallahassee Community College. I was so happy to hear I wasn't the only one going there. I thought everyone was going to Florida State but it was nice to know someone else went to the community college. Time went by and we didn't talk to much but I remember once we were in a group and he took my phone and then proceeded to put his number in it.
Chris was also the first guy in 5th Ward to dance with me at a dance. It was the first dance of the semester so I didn't really know anyone and I was sitting with some friends and of course a slow song comes on and the other two girls were asked and so I didn't want to sit on the couch by myself so I got up to walk somewhere else and Chris grabbed me and asked me to dance.
Another memory I had was Chris tired to set me up with another guy. The Fall Ball was coming up and Chris tried to set me up with this guy by telling him about me and telling him to just call me and ask me to the dance. Chris wasn't going to go because 1. he didn't like going to dances and 2. His good friend was being sealed in the Temple that day. So the guy never called me and I was texting Chris (which my plan didn't have texting but I still did) and told him that the guy never called me and he said "well if I were there I would take you." Very kind of him to say.
This is the first picture of Chris that made me attracted to him... HAHA I know I know. He was playing volley pong with his friends and Kim Brock was taking pictures of them doing funny poses. Chris thought that going shirtless was the way to go. Crazy boy.
Let's see other memories... Chris and I kissed before our first date. We didn't tell anyone we were dating for about a month and a half (except our close friends). We had nights of talking on the phone late into the night. He said "I love you" to me on January 3, 2008 at Dorthy B. Oven (this little park with Christmas Lights). He proposed to me in October 2008 at Fun Station while playing Mini Golf. He put the ring in the hole. We then proceeded to not tell anyone we were engaged for about two months, we were ironing out the date and such. My favorite memory will be that on our sealing day we kissed across the alter and he asked the sealer if he could have another kiss from me. =)
Chris has an awesome personality. He is so caring and loving and is just an amazing people person. He supports me in everything and is always willing to help me out. He never raises his voice toward me when angry even if I am toward him. Chris always tells me I'm beautiful even though I never believe it. He says I love you all the time. Chris always opens my car door and will carry my backpack. We just click so well and he is always there for me. I love Chris with all my heart and I feel so blessed everyday to know that he is my eternal companion. Happy Valentine's Day Chris!
