Where it all began...

I was looking through pictures and came across pictures of the beginning days. So many memories and feelings popped up. We had such good times. It's wonderful how much our love has progressed and grown. It started out as puppy love and grew into eternal love.
This was in the very very beginning. If I remember right, it was late August. Look at my hair (eeek) and that skinny boy. He was sort of newly off his mission and now that I think about the first girl a guy dates when he gets home from his mission is the girl he usually ends up marrying. And that truck, as sexy as it might be, smelled like absolute crap.
Fun times bowling. Enoch didn't have an excuse for having off days. He is a Bowler. hahaha...lame joke, overused. I, on the other hand, just plain suck....
We were at his mission buddies wedding and it made me want to get married the next weekend. I think he looks like a mischievous little boy in this picture.


This is Enoch's favorite picture besides our wedding pictures. We went on a motorcycle trip to Mesa Falls and it became one of our favorite "US" spots.
When we both think back on when we first started dating in September 04, we would've never guessed we'd be here now. I remember the first time Enoch said he loved me. Well, he wrote that he loved me because he was too embarassed to say it out loud. I woke up on my birthday Oct 14 and didn't even notice the shiny new acoustic guitar sitting in the corner. But I did notice all the signs my awesome roommates had plastered all over the place. Enoch was out in the living room ( stupid chastity line) waiting for me and when I didn't say anything, he looked hurt at first and then confused. When everyone said go back in there and look, I was the one who was confused. But there was my pretty new guitar with a bottle of Lucky perfume and a little handwritten note. I opened up the note and it read "Dear Manda, Happy Birthday girl. I'm not good at saying this in person but I really do love you. So, yeah, I love you. I'm so "Lucky" to have you. " It was so cute. And I've saved every cute little I Love You note since then. So many memories you wish you had a video camera for.
We can't wait to keep our journey going and making more memories and having a blast with each other.
