Lovebirds Tag

(I know you see this pic alot but it's the only wedding pic I have on my computer.)
I was tagged by Ashley to share the juicy details so here goes:

1. Where did you and your husband meet? Well Kurt & I went to church together pretty much my whole life but never officially "met". We knew of eachother but didn't actually KNOW eachother. He's 5 yrs older sooo with that age difference in school years you don't talk to people that much younger. Around senior year I noticed his missionary plaque hanging there after seminary. I was joking around with my gf looking at the plaques and we were saying who we want to come home. I joked with her and told her I wanted Kurt to come back and that he was a cutie. (I'd never even talked to him before this btw) Anyway I had a job at the local grocery store and was stocking shelves when I heard his little sister Eliana yelling to Lark while they approached the doors. I turned to the doors and in walked Kurt. ;) Ohhhh myyyyy!! LOL! He was home from his mission! I was flustered and started thinking do I look ok? I bagged their groceries and his Mom introduced us and reminded Kurt of my family, which I'm pretty sure he couldn't recall at the time.

2. First thing said? Intro's.....Hi I'm Amy....Hi I'm Kurt (something to that effect) Don't you wish it was something juicier?? ;)

3. First date? Ok now this has some conflict....our first date I don't think can qualify as a date per say. May 5th 2002~ He called me up told me a bunch of people from the ward were going to go and if I would like to go with him on this group "date" to see Spiderman. I was excited and said yeah. Now he'd been dating this girl from Valencia, and had just recently broken up with her, which let's be honest I was waiting for! LOL!! Anyway we drive down to Valencia and he explains he's picking this girl up to come with us.....WHAT???? We get to the theater and there were a bunch of us. I end up sitting next to Luke and Kurt sitting next to his ex. AWESOME! (Luke do u remember this? lol) Anyway the movie was good, but obviously not the way I wanted it to go. After Kurt took me home he explained to me that he just wanted to show this girl that he meant it when he told her they could be friends. And that he hated it when couples say that when they break up and it's always a lie, so he wanted to show her that he wasn't lying about it. Whatever right?! LOL!!
So needless to say I always tell people about the date that followed because that was an actual alone date and we went to a dance club in Valencia. It was the BEST!

4. First kiss? May 10th, 2002~ I know I know....you're probably thinking...DANG you move fast! LOL!! Our first official alone date, we had been on several outings with other people and were good friends before we had even started dating. So the wait was killing me! "She's a maneater". We had gone out to the under-age Valencia dance club on our date. We had so much fun. When Kurt dropped me off we said our goodbye's (by this I mean a hug). I was at my door unlocking it when I just thought to myself what are u doing you stupid girl?? I just knew that he wouldn't be the one to make the first move and that I would have to. So just then I say, "HEY...hold on I forgot something" I turned around and layed one on him. *sigh* "Ok you can go now" ;)

5. When "I Love You's" were first said: I added this one myself...I think it's a vital part of a lovebird tag. September 22, 2002~ (My 18th Birthday) After a night of shopping, dinner, and enough cake to feed an army (Kurt had bought the ENTIRE big mtn fudge cake at Black Angus for my bday) that pivotal moment arrived. We we standing outside of my house talking about the next step and where we're heading. (We had broken up just a month prior to, we both had been praying about our relationship, although I felt we should move forward he hadn't received the same answer so we broke up. Sept 11th he realized his mistake and we got back together.) Anyway we were talking about getting married and he said he was scared to make that leap, I then told him that all I thought he needed to know was that I loved him. He then told me that he tries to show me how he feels through his actions but that he knew that I needed to hear it as well. He said, "Amy, I love you." Awwww!!

6. Long or short courtship/engagement? Kurt proposed 2/1/03 and were were married 6/7/03

7. Where did you get engaged? February 1st 2003- I came home from work late and Kurt was there at my house waiting for me. He told me to get changed because he was taking me somewhere. I changed and thinking it was so late we couldn't possibly be going anywhere off the hill I wore slippers. LOL! We got on the freeway and drove forever, all the while I'm wondering what the heck we're doing. We pull up to the L.A temple by this time it's close to midnight. What in the world are we doing at the temple at dark thirty. The guards were closing the gates and Kurt politely asked if we could have just a few mins to walk the grounds. The said ok and we headed towards the doors. We stood in front of the reflection pool hugging. He then began to pour out his heart and got down on one knee. I lost it...I started balling like a baby....I couldn't even see the ring till after I said yes, my eyes were too full of water. Kurt had been at my home while I was at work asking my parents for my hand. Good thing I didn't catch on to the fact that my Mom wouldn't even look at me before we left because she was afraid she'd give it away...thanks Mom. :) Oh and we got a ticket on the way home, we'll never forget that one!

8. Where were you married? Frazier Park, CA in the church building and sealed in the LA temple

9. Where did you go on your honeymoon? We went on an awesome Caribbean cruise!! We flew to Miami, FL where we stayed overnight and played in the beautiful water there. Then we loaded onto our boat the following day. We stopped at Keywest, FL and Cozumel, MX. It was such a fun cruise filled with snorkeling, dancing, karaoke, games, scooters, swimming, shopping, & of course eating! I can't wait to go on another cruise.

10. Where did you make your first home? (added by my friend Johanna)
Our first home was a small one bed/2 bath house in Frazier Park, CA. We like to call it the creature house. It was a 2 story home, that was badly outdated. The counters, and appliances were olive green. The walls were very dark wood paneling, and the carpet was a dark chocolate color. Best price for renting for the space though. The whole upstairs was our bedroom and bath, downstairs- was our kitchen living area and 1/2 bath (looked like a closet) lol. Anyway we call it the creature house because we had several hilarious encounters with bugs, chipmunks, and lizards. We must have had a family of lizards living somewhere underneath our stairs because almost everytime you cam down them there a lizard would be staring at you!
*Funny story- I once had a baby lizard stow away in this cute belt I had. (This is not made up) I went to my Moms to visit for a while, they lived about 5 min away. I had to pee so I headed into the bathroom. As I went to unbuckle my belt, I see something fly out of it. I'm pretty freaked out as I look around to see what in the world that was. Much to my dismay there sat a very tiny baby lizard....OMG..I screamed for my Mom. She came running in, she grabbed a glass and we caught it. We both could not stop laughing after that* Anyway we had a crazy infestation of green flying beetles one night when we went up to go to bed. When we bought our first christmas tree, we set it all up and went to bed. Kurt was thirsty around 11am or so and went down to get a drink. He saw something run by as he was grabbing a glass, he peeked around the corner and found a crazy chipmunk running around in our house...he eventually caught it and put it outside. Sort of sounds like "the money pit" huh or "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation"? What a first home! lol

Ok Now it's time to pass on the tag....soooo Amanda get on it! Also Christine, Nickell, Darcy, Anna, Jayme, Melena, Johanna, & Amber let's hear your juicy lovebird details!
