How We Met....
Fiery leaves of autumn
Flashing in the sun,
Spiral slowly earthward,
Drifting one by one.
They weave a forest carpet,
Of yellow, orange, and red,
To hold the snows of winter,
When the last leaf is shed.
The first smell of fall did it. The beauty that the world conveys around us that time of year, is the season of love. I have met Jared once or twice before but nothing ever came of it. We were both always away in the summer working and what not, but always came back to town for that wonderful time of Thanks and Giving. I guess you can say that's why I love Autumn so much, the smell, sounds and change in our atmosphere brings all of us closer together. At least it was for me and Jared two and a half years ago.
The Festival of Lights in riverside always started a few days after Thanksgiving, but two years ago, they decided to change the date of that fair to the day after Thanksgiving, taking away my families time together to sit as one and enjoy each others company. Instead, that day was filled with cleaning, packing, setting up, and baking to start selling our famous food the next day. I was upset, and made my complaints known on the internet, (Oh how I love Facebook). That's when I got a message from Jared offering his house to my siblings and I to join him and his family for Thanksgiving dinner. It was such a fun night, and we greatly appreciate his family for letting us spend time with them and feel the joy of Autumn again. After that night Jared and I started dating. We both moved to Utah the same time, he to go to the U of U and me to gain more work experience in my career field. One day I woke up to a note on my door that read... 'Good morning my love, I have a special task for you today, so get up, put on something nice and I will see you soon.' The next line had a riddle that concluded to the first date we ever went on. As the day progressed I found more and more riddles. The last riddle led me to our favorite Park in Utah. He was sitting in a gazebo across the lake playing a song he wrote for me on Valentines day. After the song he proposed to me with the ring I picked out weeks prior. It was one of the best days of our lives. We were married May 21st 2009 in the beautiful town of Oak Glenn. above are some pictures of our journey of dating, marriage, and life in the Air Force.
