Jord and I met about 2 and a half years ago. I had just graduated from High school, and my family had just moved to Rio Rancho, NM. It was my first Sunday at the West Mesa Singles Branch. Jordan was in Albuquerque selling security systems. I walked into Sacrament, and I guess Jordan saw me walk in, and knew he wanted to ask me out. I went and sat down with my cousins. Later that Sunday after Sunday school Jordan came up and introduced himself to me. I don't really remember what he said, I just remember that he was wearing a reddish orangish tie, and I was wearing my bright orange graduation dress, and I thought it was kinda funny cuz they both kind of matched his hair. After church that Sunday I got into my car, and drove off, noticing Jordan left about the same time as me, however he says that he did not plan it that way, I totally still think he did. Anyways, I drove off, and while I was stopped at a light he pulled up next to me and signaled to me to roll my window down, so I did. He then asked "Wanna race?" I told him "No way, you would kill me," and so then he said, "well then how about I take you out instead." And thats how it started. Of coarse it would not be until about a year and a half later until we actually went out.
See Jordan asked me out a few times but having just graduated from High School I was just not ready to date a "Return Missionary." Because everyone knows what a return missionary wants. A wife, and a commitment, and I was to young and to say the least immature for anything like that. haha Anyways, so one night he called me up and asked me to go out with him, I agreed to go because of how incredibly cute he was and maybe a return missionary would not be so bad after all. I mean he was actually from Utah and would be returning there at the end of the summer right? So, we decided we would go out, but we would have to wait a week because I was going to Lake Powell the next day for a week. We decided that we would go to breakfast the Monday after I got back. However, it was not until quite a few Mondays later that we would actually go on our first date. While I was gone, Jordan felt quite strongly that he should not continue selling security systems, so the week I was in Lake Powell he actually ended up going home, so when I got back I got a call from him explaining that that he would not be able to take me out because he had gone back to Utah. I did not think to much of it, and for the next year and a half we would talk on and off on the phone and through msn, while we both grew and experienced different things we needed to. Finally, in December 2007 we decided that we should probably go on that first date finally. Jord came down and visited me in Rio Rancho. We continued to stay really good friends and started to date, well as much as was possible due to the fact that we were 12 hours apart. Last summer I went to Florida with him, and was the office manager for his pinnacle security sales office, while he was the lead tech. We got to know each other and date like a normal couple, and we fell in love! Its been an amazing adventure, I have really learned that timing is just as important as anything. And because love may take time, we need to always make time for love. We are getting married on December 27th in the Albuquerque temple where we will be sealed for time and all eternity. I am so excited and feel so blessed. I can't wait to spend eternity with my best friend!!! Until next time adiós!
