Just Another "This is how we met story" (Rob's Version)

Well it all started my first day back here in BYU-Idaho. I called my friends Jamie and Rachel to see if they needed any help with moving in or sorting out anything in their apartment. They said I could stop by and help so I did. I stopped by to help clean and organize things. I met their new roommate Lizzy who was the sister of a friend of Jamie's. I said "Hello" and shook her hand tried to make small talk but she never looked me in the eye or gave any response to anything I was asking. She was busy organizing the kitchen and she seemed kinda bossy ordering everyone around. I helped out with what I was "allowed" to help out with. So I left that day with my mind occupied on other things. Months passed and I would often stop by to visit Rachel and Jamie and of course Lizzy/Liz was always there. And I would say hi and make small talk and what not. As time passed I recall working on a project in the Library one day with a friend of mine. (Liz worked at the Library at the time) and as we were walking past the help desk. I heard "HI ROB!!" I turned to see Liz waving enthusiastically at me I waved back and said "Hi" but kept on walking. My friend turned to me with a big suprised look on her face and said, "Wow that was quite the flirtatious hello." "Really?" I said. "Yeah no doubt about it." I didn't really think anything about it and then just went to class. I came home that same day and found an elaborate note on my bed. It was from Liz asking me to a formal dance the next weekend. I was very suprised and anyone who knows me knows that I love to dance even though I don't dance very well. In any case I was sad to say I could not go because I had already made plans to go to my mission reunion that same weekend. I was sad but I wanted to make it up to her. I thought I would do something else with her. So I invited her to play frisbee later that saturday. On Sunday we went to a fireside together then to staidium singing. Monday we went for a REALLY long walk and had a really good talk. Tuesday we went to devotional together. Wensday I had a show in the Hinkley she was unable to come because she had fainted earlier that day (Because she was thinking of me *giggle*) Just kidding she gets dizzy from her medication which causes her to faint sometimes. In any case I went to see her afterwards and see how she was doing. She had made me some cookies and we set a date to go on a date the next night. I picked her up and we headed out to the theater and met my roommate and his girlfriend there. We went to go see a movie then went out to eat afterwards at Wingers (It's like Red Robin) and we walked back home. We came to an intersection and I asked,"So where is this going?" Liz stopped for a second and looked down at the street . I jokingly said, "Not the street, us. Where are we going?" She laughed and said, "Well I like you and I'd like it to go somewhere." "So would I." I said with a smile. Shortly after that I held her hand and I've never let go since. That's the story in a nut shell. We have lots of funny stories to go along with this that we still laugh about. Although I may be missing some "important" details I believe that Liz will agree for the most part. But if she has anything else to add then she certinely can. Or if there are any questions feel free to ask her or myself. That's it for now and the rest will be history.

Just Another Week of Service

Well this past week has been quite interesting last Saturday I had volunteered for the "Rush" Triathlon. It was lots of fun. Some of my coworkers came to volunteer as well and everyone had a great time. We had a huge turn out of people. We had about 377 racers more or less. My friend Jamie was in charge of everything she placed me in charge of the biking portion of the race it. For it we woke up at 4:30 in the morning to meet with all the volunteers at 5 it was a great time to sleep in considering that because we always wake up at 3:30 for early morning custodial anyway. Well we had fun but I was dead afterwards and slept until about 9:45 I called Liz and we talked for a while it was a great way to end the day. On tuesday afternoon we helped out with a service activity in the park called "Celebrating Youth" it's a get together for local businesses and leaders in the community. Basically it's a carnival for the kids who are starting school the next day. It was fun. I was in charge of the "Ping-Pong" Toss it was very exhausting I was just about to keel over by the end. Because I'd been up for about 13 hours and was very tired. Anyway that was that. Here you can see Jamie and I afterwards when we were all cleaned up. For some reason the bugs were really attracted to our green shirts.

Just Another Engagement Announcment

Well contrary to popular belief the answer to the previous poll was the J series. Sorry to all those who wanted it to be the x series. In any case Liz and I are unofficially officially engaged. We're planing on the Oakland Temple perhaps sometimes in July but for now we'll see what happens. Other plans are not official yet because the deed has not been done yet. *The Proposal* but anyway that's what's going on for now other then that. That's it for now but I'll keep you all posted until then.
