Our Story

Eric and I both attend BYU-Idaho. We both happened to be in the same housing! We were even in the same FHE group. One day there was a huge group FHE and I was playing fusbol and Eric came up and started to play (cheat). Then he asked if anyone wanted to get a Dr. Pepper with him, no one answered so I said "sure I'll go". So we went and got a drink at the Maverick and then he decided we were gonna go get ice cream. Then we sat and talked for over an hour! Then he got up even more courage to ask me on a date. I said yes, and then later called him back to cancel, because "something came up". I had blown him off for another date. I instantly felt guilty and called him to reschedule, but he had another date. Then he called me back to say ok we will go. Come to find out that he canceled his for me =). So we went on our first date. Me made pizza, and then went out with a group to the corn maze. He basically took me there so that he could hold my hand! Then we kept hanging out from there. We did severally library dates, and after one of them I asked if I could kiss him, and luckily he said "Sure". Then we kept going on from there! We started dating and falling in love! We had to do a long distance relationship for an entire semester! Eric came and visited me two times (best weekends of my life!) Then he picked me up from the airport and it was like we had never left each other! Then about a week or so later Eric had this nice big saturday planned for us! I woke up to flowers on my desk with a note say, "Good morning I made breakfast get up and get ready then come over. I love you." My gracious roommates (who knew what was happening) dolled me up. I went over to a delicious breakfast. Then Eric took me to a nail place in Idaho Falls. He left while I was getting a very nice manicure (which he paid for). Then we went and walked around the mall. Then we went out to dinner at the Olive Garden. Then he took me for a walk by the Falls, and as we walked I saw one single red rose on a rock! Eric went down and picked it up and gave it to me, got down on one knee and said "Amanda I love you so much will you marry me?" Of course by this point in time I was about to ball and I said through my tears, "Yes! OK! SURE!" I then gave him the biggest kiss ever! While all of this was happening our friend Taylor Miller was taking pictures of the entire thing! Then we got married three months later =)
