that time i fell in love..

in honor of our 1 and 1/2 year anniversary coming up, 

here's a re-cap of our LOVE story:

our first real date.. 

funny story, i tried to embarrass will by telling the random stranger who took this pic that we had just gotten engaged and wanted to "capture the moment" with a picture. they thought we were adorable together! :)

Halloween group date..

will showed off his pumpkin carving skills and we 

cuddled up to a scary movie.

the night i asked HIM if he wanted to be my "boyfriend".

he got off the hook easy.. but i couldn't help myself!

out on the town as an "official" couple for the first time.

long boarding with some of our friends in arizona.

will was always a good sport about letting us use his truck for this. 

brownie points. ;)

when me and a couple of my best friends drove 10 hours to meet will's best friends.. and we had a spontaneous dance party. so much fun!

 then we snuck off on our own to see the beautiful snow-covered salt lake temple grounds.
GOY-geous!

 when we started our Friendsgiving tradition with these cool people.. and a baby on a table.
i didn't admit it when we went around the table saying what we were most grateful for.. but it was defineatly Will, even back then.

that first trip to Utah we took together really showed us just how strong our feelings were for each other.

i remember freaking out that "this could end in marriage!" to my girl friends that came up with me,

and them telling me how great that was and how perfect we were for each other.

i'm so glad they reassured me that it was okay to let myself be so beyond happy and get married young.

this was the best decision i've ever made.

i love you William!
