Our Story

Ben and I met in our BYU singles ward...BYU 210th ward. We were acquaintances for about a year from Fall of 2004-2005. But at the beginning of Fall of 2005 Ben asked me out...the first day of school actually. After about a month of dating we knew we wanted to get married...and on December 27, 2005 we were married and sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple!
We continued school and both graduated in August of 2006. The same weekend as graduation we packed up and moved to Iowa.
We have now been in Iowa for over 2 years...and a ton has happened since moving here. Ben has finished 2 years of chiropractic school and has about a year left, then he will do a preceptorship somewhere for a few months, then we will settle somewhere...who knows where??...probably St. George. And our beautiful daughter, Emma joined our family in July 2007! She is our joy! We love her so very much!! She must be one of the sweetest little girls in the world...and she definietly keeps us entertained.
