Chris and I met about 2 years before we started dating, We met through a mutual friend but I unfortunately was not at all interested because I knew he was younger and also had a girlfriend... Flash forward another 6 months and this same friend and I went to a YSA Volleyball gathering. I saw him and did not remember meeting him 6 months prior. He was sitting watching the games and waiting to play, I asked my friend Kat introduce us (again) cause I thought he was cute. She then left to go do something else, so I started to try to start a conversation and asked him where he went on his mission and how old he was, He told me he went to Taiwan and he was 19, Of course I knew by that, that he had come home early and I felt horrible for asking him (I thought he was 22) So I stopped talking cause I had put my foot in my mouth! He had remembered meeting me and so he thought I was judging him and thought I was a total snob! Needless to say that did not end well and we did not speak again for a long while!
Flash Forward another year and a half and we met again at a mutual friends party, I saw him walk in and thought oh crud! That guy totally hates my guts! He thought eh why is she here! We did start talking about the past year and a half and what we had been up to and all the growing up we had done. We ended up talking all night from 8pm to 5 am. I fell for him and saw so much in him at that moment. After talking all night just as I was leaving he said, So can I have your number or am I going to have to get it from our friend.... I of course gave it to him.
about 3 hours later I got a text saying he had so much fun and couldn't wait to talk to me that day. He actually proposed 4 days in but I turned him down! We were together everyday, and we knew that we were with who we should be with!
On the 4th of July he asked my parents if he could marry me, they of course said yes. He received a family heirloom to give to me as an engagement ring but it needed some work so he didn't propose for almost a month later!! I was dying! He proposed on the 23rd of July in Santa Cruz, on the beach at sunset with the whole pier watching us!
We got married on Oct 15 2005 and 10 weeks later I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant!
We moved to St George Utah when I was 5 months Pregnant and Duncan Joined our little family on Aug 7 2006. He was truly a miracle baby and we are so blessed to have him in our family.
In November of 2008 I found out I was pregnant again, Beckham joined our family on July 16 2009! We are so blessed to have our family and We will see what the future brings us!
