I thought I'd share the story about how we met.....
SHORT VERSION - We met in our Single's Ward in Provo, UT.
LONGER VERSION -
(names have been changed to protect the innocent...or guilty, depending how you look at it)
Once upon a time (2004) in a strange land called Provo, a
boy (Tyler) and a
girl (Emily) moved to an apartment complex called Centennial (into two separate apartments, that is). They began attending the same Single's Ward. Although the
boy had been a home teacher to a couple of the
girl's roommates, the
boy and the
girl somehow didn't meet for almost a year. (Unless you count the time the
girl sat by the
boy in Sacrament meeting and said "hi.".... but she doesn't remember that happening, but then again she doesn't remember a lot of things.)
During that year, the
boy started dating Hildagard and the
girl started reciprocating flirtation behavior with Archibald. After a while the
girl's roommate, Aretha, decided she was interested in Archibald, and the
girl decided she wasn't, so she went on an awkward walk with Archibald to tell him that she, the
girl, wasn't really interested in anything serious with him. A little while later the
girl started dating Biff.
In the meantime, the
boy ditched Hildagard and started dating Bertha. The
girl dumped Biff and finally met the
boy....As was mentioned the
boy was a home teacher to a couple of the girl's roommates. After one home teaching visit, while the
boy sat chatting with the
girl's roommates, the
girl came out to do the dishes. Her roommate Ivana, mentioned that the
girl had just broke up with her boyfriend and the
boy asked about it. The
girl,
probably talking way too much, told much of her break up story. (what a great first conversation) The
boy said he didn't mind though because, hey it got them together.
A little while later (February 2005) Aretha became interested in the
boy so she invited him to choir and game nights. The
boy started coming to things. Soon the
girl and
boy took notice of each other and started liking each other. (Aretha started dating someone else and the
boy decided to dump Bertha.)
Somehow, during this time, the
girl let slip to Aretha that she might now sort of be interested in Archibald while at the same time liking the
boy. Archibald and the
boy started vying for the
girl's attention. Really Archibald was trying to get her to notice him more, while the
boy was getting the
girl to notice him. The
girl liked survived the attention. All along she knew she'd pick the
boy over Archibald, and finally did (June 2005).
Archibald found out that he had lost when one day he walked into the
girl's apartment and saw her holding hands with the
boy. To make things more complicated...shortly thereafter another roommate, Darla, started liking Archibald and Archibald started liking Aretha, now that she was single again. Confused?... Much to Archibald's dismay, Aretha wasn't interested in him anymore and Archibald wasn't interested in Darla. Darla, having lost interest in Archibald started dating her future husband, Herb.
So.... the
boy and
girl started dating, had lots of fun, got engaged (March 2006), and were married (June 2006)!! They had a baby girl (August 2009) and are living happily ever after (at least they were happy at the time of this post).
(rolling through the end credits.....)
Darla married Herb and now have a baby girl.
Aretha married Walter and now have a baby boy.
Archibald was recently engaged and seems very happy.
Who cares about Hildagard, Bertha, or Biff?
