Mr & Mrs Irresistable Remember Whens...

Kyle and I have been married for over 10 years now. And we dated for two or three before that. I was just thinking of some of the experiences we have had together. Some make me smile, some make me cry, and most just make me laugh!! But, anyways, I thought I would make a list of some of them...just for the fun of it. So, this is mostly for us...sorry...I guess you had to be there. :D

**Kyle knows my memory is very unreliable so some things are a little fuzzy.

Remember When...

• while on a ward temple excursion (yes, we grew up in the same ward), you asked me to "go out with you". We might have been in middle school. I told you "no". Hmmmm....so I changed my mind!




• we were in Woodshop together my Senior year. We flirted like crazy! You practically built my cedar chest for me. And remember our "friendship chips"? (for our readers: we made them out of little wood chips. Both of us had one and we wore them around our necks.) That was so cute...I believe it was your idea. (sigh)




• at track meets we would sit on a blanket and listen to Alanis Morissette together. It was romantic. And I believe it was on our way home from a track meet that we had our first kiss. The track team stopped in Laurel, MT, at a Burger King. We decided it would be funny if we both put sweet 'n' sour sauce on our lips and then kiss. We were just being silly...but deep down we both just wanted to kiss eachother!! :)




• i went deer hunting with you and somebody...was it Jade or Nick? Can't remember. We saw some deer...I told you to shoot...you did....I cried.




• we went to prom-twice-my senior year and your senior year. (yes, I am OLDER than Kyle). I think it was my senior year that we went to Billings with Wendy and her date. We ate dinner at Applebee's and I started to get a headache. You ran...on foot...clear over to Wal-Mart to buy me some Tylenol. You melted my heart right then and there, baby!




• we went to t.w.i.r.p my Senior year. We wore the goofiest outfits with x's and o's on them. I think we even sported our "friendship chips". :) We went with Carlee Graves, William Hiser, Stephanie Walker, and Trinity Opp. That was a fun night! We were elected "Mr. & Mrs. Irresistable" because we collected the most hearts from everybody at school.




• there was some kind of water leak at your house and you were sent to go get a wet vac to help clean it up. Instead of hurrying home with it, you stopped at Minchow's where I was working to visit for awhile...long enough that your mom had to come looking for you...and she was not happy!!




• you were constantly getting in trouble with your mom for hanging out with me too much. She was really good at tracking you down...even when we took measures to trick her!! Man, I'm so glad she loves me now!!!!




• I was bored at work one Sunday and was doodling "Catherine Leithead" all over some scrap paper. I threw it in the trash when I was done. I wanted to die when I came to work the next day and Jim Minchow had taped the papers up where everyone could see. How embarassing!!! I was just practicing my future name....jeez.




• we went all over Billings looking for a white gold wedding ring because I didn't want gold and we couldn't afford platinum. I think there might have been two or three in the whole city!! But we found one...which I still love to this day! You took me to a park in Billings that had a creek with a bridge over it. You proposed to me on that bridge...and it was romantic.



• we were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple in the presence of all our loved ones. It was a wonderful day! We had a beautiful luncheon at the Joseph Smith Building. Can you even remember the luncheon? I think we were too worried about how to excuse ourselves politely so we could get on with the honeymoon!! Then when we finally made it to Logan where we were going to spend our honeymoon, we were so nervous! We put off going to the bed & breakfast by doing a little shopping first!!



• when we moved to Orem we lived in our first apartment for two days. We hadn't seen it until we actually pulled into town late at night and started unloading our belongings. I hated it. It was old and dirty and yucky. I told you I would not live there. So we found a different apartment, but it wasn't going to be available for a couple weeks. So we actually lived in the model apartment at the complex. That was interesting.



• How about the night the S.W.A.T team busted in on us at 2 a.m. pointing their big guns at us and cuffing us with zip ties...in our unmentionables!! What about how I couldn't stop laughing...cause I was afraid I would start to cry. Now that was unforgettable. (maybe we will share that story sometime for those of you that are going, "what the heck?? - what did you guys do??") Yep...we are full of surprises.



• I was so mad at you for bringing home Sunny, our chocolate lab. Funny how I fell in love with him anyways...even though he was, well, a dog. He was so much fun! Remember how heart-broken we both were when he got ran over? We miss you Sunny!!



• I didn't want you to go on that big fishing trip with your buddies about three weeks before my due date with Matalyn? Yeah...you said, "you won't go into labor while I'm gone - don't worry". Hmmmmm. You had to drive pretty fast to make it back in time for that one!! But man, I was so glad to see you when you got there!!



• we had to watch our first little baby lay in the NICU with wires and tubes hooked up to her for six days?? And taking that sweet little thing home on oxygen? Aren't we blessed that she is so healthy now. And beautiful....just beautiful!!



• Anastyn's entrance into the world was much less stressful. Everything went great...and we got to go home after only a couple days. What a pretty baby...daddy's complexion, daddy's brown eyes...how could you not fall in love with her?

I could probably go on and on...but this post has to end sometime. Thanks for the memories, babe!! Love you....
