Two Years of Wedded Bliss

Chris and I met almost three years ago in singles ward. One Sunday we had a combined Relief Society/Priesthood lesson. I was sitting with my girls and about 3 rows ahead of us sat Chris all by himself. We all naturally began talking about this mysterious, lonely (so I thought), cute guy. I'll be honest, I had never noticed Chris before that Sunday, but after that I started paying attention. I discovered that Chris was paying a bit of attention to me too. He would never talk to me, but I caught him staring at me a number of times in church. I couldn't figure out why this handsome guy was sitting all by himself every Sunday. I felt sorry for him, he looked like he was in bad need of some friends. The next Sunday I decided I would sit next to him in church and ask him to come over to dinner with my room mates and I. I did and he gladly accepted. Later, I learned that Chris was in fact not lonely. He had TONS of friends, he was just apparently too cool for anyone in our singles ward. Lucky for him I didn't know that tidbit of information. . .

Chris before we met:

The rest is pretty much history. . .

We dated.

Fell in Love.

Got Married.

And thankfully now after two years of marriage we are expecting our first baby.

We feel so blessed!

Cute post Johnna!! And I have known Chris since summer of 03 (WOW...its been a long time I guess) and no he wasnt ever been lonely. haha. I could tell you some pretty funny stories about Chris...like when someone put LOTS of maxi pads and oreos all over his car, at like midnight...he did NOT think that was funny at all. Hahahaha...unfortunately I found it hilarious, but knew how mad he was and had to hide my laughter. haha. And I also know how hard he looked for someone who could take his side, and I am so happy that he found you! You guys are adorable, and many more happy years to come!!
