A year ago TODAY....

SmileyCentral.com
Well exactly one year ago today I drove up to the Salt Lake area, my son was the chaperone and had my first date with Brent....It was a Thursday night and we went to a Mexican restaurant in Bountiful Utah. This was to be our introduction kinda date...the next night was what he invited me up to. You see at the time he was a high councilman (his church calling) and once a year they had a Stake High Council Social (fish fry). Well this time there where going to be 29 guests, 30 if I decided to be his date. With that kind of invite how could I say no!!! Before I could except going he felt he needed to ask his Stake President to see if it was okay (of course it was). So more on our introduction date well...funny thing, there was this lady he use to serve with. It was when he was still married and he was serving over the singles. Well she was going out to that same restaurant (Mexican Food), and she saw the two of us there. She was extremely nervous and a bit disturbed, destressed, as I noticed her pacing back and forth as we waited to be seated. We later found out she had no idea that Brent was divorced and she thought he was messing up so that very night she called that same Stake President. He was very nice about it and of course when she told him Brent was dating he said, " Good for him it's about time." Needless to say it all was a innocent mistake and bless her for her concerns!!! We need more people like her...This goes to show that our example we set in life matters, people do watch us!!! That same Stake President attended our Wedding sealing in the Bountiful Temple...
What did we do to celebrate??? We had a quiet dinner for two...steaks off the grill, sweet potatoes, salad and watermelon...We watched a funny but romantic movie and the rest I won't share!!!
