Our Story

Leif and I met through a mutual friend June 2009. All I remember from the first night was thinking how much he talked hahaha! I have never met a guy who talked as much as he did. Usually its the other way around, I can't shut up about anything! So the very next day Leif went to California for the weekend. We texted each other literally all day the entire weekend he was gone. The day he was coming back from Cali his rides car broke down in the middle of nowhere Winnamuca Nevada! I was so bummed because we planned on seeing eachother. The very next day he was back in Rexburg and within an hour of returning we hung out again. That week was his birthday and that night we decided to date exclusively.The entire summer we were together everyday. We were like peanut butter and jelly. September was around the corner and I was not in school, I decided to go home to Illinois with my parents to save money. We kept dating long distance and well it sucked. I visited him in October and that's when it started to get serious. He asked me to marry him on New Years at 12am. We were downtown Chicago at Navy Pier watching the fireworks and I'm pretty sure it was below 0 outside. The ring is beautiful who could say no to that?! Haha JK. Afterwards we went to China town and had some delicious food :) We LOVE China town, it's one of our favorite places. We were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on
