love story

As I am sure many of you know, my all time favorite show is the bachelor/bachelorette. love it!
Some of our friends got together on Sunday, had a great dinner and watched the finale together.. even the boys. The person we wanted in the end was the one:)

As I looked around at all the girls as the end was near they all the biggest smiles on their faces. Some were crying. We were in love with their love story. That night when I went home, all I could think about was my own love story. It is almost our 2nd anniversary and I feel like it is crazy to look back on when we met.

Kellen and I, as crazy as we are, met at a stop sign. I don't think I have ever shared this story on my blog. Most people know our story because of our engagement pictures being next to that stop sign:)

My cousin Tawny and I were driving to her house from our grandparents house. I am one that if it is possible I enjoy taking the neighborhood route everywhere. As we stopped at a stop sign I glanced over towards the right. I saw this boy walking his dog, I said to my cousin wow that boy is cute! She agreed and started to roll down her window before I left the stop sign. She yelled out to the boy "hey, are you single?" He answered "yes" very shy and slowly walked up to my car. She continued to ask him many questions such as "how old are you?" and then she asked "can I get your number for my cousin?" I didn't realize she was asking for me since he was too old for her and as he told his number neither one of us put it in our phones and then started to laugh when we realized it. I got my phone out and had him repeat it. I then asked what his name was and he said Kellen. I had never heard that name before so I asked him to spell it.

Who knew that this stop sign and that moment of me driving by and him walking his dog would lead to a happy marriage. Sometimes I look at Kellen and I can't believe he chose me! This may sound so cheesy but we are so perfect for each other. We can just sit at home with a movie, cuddle and talk all night for the rest of our lives and be totally fine with it. As long as we are together. We have made it through many trials already. My health I would say is the biggest. We have helped each other get to the temple to be sealed together as a family. We used to say when we were dating that we were the best dang team because we have always felt we make a perfect team :) We agree on mostly everything. He loves kids as much as I do! We fall more and more in love every day.

I love shutterfly books, I have made a book for every year we were dating, our honeymoon, our sealing and our years of marriage. I get so emotional looking through them and knowing that this is going to be my life for eternity!

I love you Kellen! Thank you for always being my best friend and helping me get through everything! I am excited to spend eternity with you and to start our own little family :)
