..............SO WE MEET!!!!!
We were both attending the LDS University Branch in ABQ. We met for the first time in January of 2007. At that time....we were both kind of preoccupied with other people/things......and we didn't really give each other much thought.
It wasn't until Terry had his appendix removed that we started talking!!! Two-million text messages later......he asked me out for Ice Cream.......only my favorite thing in the whole world!!!!! It was April 30, 2007.
Our first date was pretty darn fun!! He asked one of my best friends to come along .....just to make her day better....CUTE!!!!! We went on several dates that week......some of them.....kind of unfortunate.....but good none-the-less. We definitely got along very well and had fun when we were together. It wasn't quite love at first sight......but we were definitely growing on each other!!!
On May 13th......he asked me and MY DAD for permission to be an official couple. And.... I said yes.......and so did He!!!! We went on tons of fun dates and spent alot of time together!!! But....Don't just think it was all fun and games. We had been through alot together and had some really tough times. We had both been very sick, been to the hospital with one another, hard school problems, family troubles....... pretty much anything that could have come our way.
But yet the attractions grew and we only got closer. But we weren't out of the woods yet!
We came to some really tough decisions and we both decided that what was best for the both of us.....did not allow for us to live in the same town. So.......I moved to Deming.........and he moved to Las Cruces. I know, I know.....It's not that far right? WRONG!!!!!!
Anyways, we made it work and get closer still.
BIG SURPRISE!!!!!!

He FINALLY asked the BIG question!!!!
It happened Sunday 11-23-08 at around 7pm!!! We had just spent a more than perfect weekend up in ABQ with all those wonderful people that we love!!! It really was the perfect weekend!!! We got to do all that we wanted and got to see almost everyone....even if it was just for a couple minutes!!! So.....after we went to stake conference with everyone on Sunday....we headed home. We made it home safely and began unpacking the car. We had purchased presents for basically everyone and needed to stash them before anyone else came home.....like my little sister!!! So we had unloaded everything from the car into my bedroom and sorted everything out. We then took lots of stuff to the guest bedroom...AKA terry's room!!!....to put it away. He put his suitcase on the bed and I said that i was gonna go put some of my stuff away real quick. He said....Hey do you wanna see what game i brought for us to play this weekend? (OK so maybe i should preface this a little bit!!! We had planned on playing a game on Saturday night with a couple of really good friends up in ABQ. However, it didn't work out cuz we had tons to do and they were super tired!!! So we didn't go. Evidently....this is when he was planning on proposing!!!) OK so he asks if i want to see the game. Of course i said yes cuz i am crazy curious and super nosey!!! He opens his suitcase and takes out the game of LIFE!!!! We LOVE this game!!! So....I'm still totally oblivious as to what is going on....I say OK, I am gonna go put away my stuff!!! He stops me again and says....Do you want to see what is inside the box? At this point I looked at him kinda funny and thought to myself....well I have seen it before!!!! We play this game all the time!!! But...once again....curiosity killed the cat.....so i said sure!!! He opens the box and there is this Zales box in the corner!!!!

He told me that he was so excited to start our LIFE together!!!! I loved it!!! He is incredibly sweet and we couldn't be happier!!!
So......That brings us to today!!!! We are loving planning a wedding!! We stay super busy with work and school and everything else!!! We are planning out how we would like to fix up our house....and having tons of fun!!! We hope to get the chance to celebrate with you!!!!
