One Year Ago Today....

On July 25th, 2009, Danny took me out on our first date. We went to the Drive-In out in Erda and saw Night at the Museum 2 and Ice Age 3. I remember being so nervous because I had a major crush on Danny in high school and here I was, going on a date with him! It got even better when he held my hand! I never would have thought that I would actually marry him, but I'm sure glad I am!! From there, things went amazingly well. We survived the long-distance relationship and never looked back.

Some of my favorite things about Danny:
--There's NEVER a dull moment! He is so funny and always makes me laugh. Even if it something that other people might find silly, I think it's adorable. :)
--He's really, really smart. He got a 4.0 last semester (which is extra amazing because we were engaged at the time and he had a final the day before the wedding) and he's always wanting to learn more.
--He helps around the apartment a lot. He will do the dishes sometimes (even though he hates them) and will gladly do things to make our apartment/car/life more enjoyable.
--Going with the last one, he's a real handy- man. As his Dad, Brad, always says, 'If they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.' (or something to that effect). Lucky for me, I got both handsome and handy.
--He's going to be a great dad someday. He and I have been called to the Nursery in our ward and he's great with kids. He can always make our nephew, Cannon, laugh and smile.

I'm so lucky to be married to such a wonderful man and this has been the best year ever! I love you, Danny! :-)
