How I met my husband

On a Tuesday I went to the Mesa Arizona Tempe to do a Sealing session with other singles from the valley. It was there that Jason and I met. We did proxy sealings together.

Afterwards I went to Pete's Fish and Chips where it was where the singles were to meet afterwards. I do not eat fish and wasn't thrilled it was the place picked. I went anyways. I thought I could get a salad but it wasn't an option on the menu. I ordered a root beer, french fries and coleslaw. I went to find a table thinking I was the only one there. I walked around the side of the building where they had more tables. I was happy to see Jason sitting there.

That night at Pete's Jason and I were the only ones who came after the Temple night. It was nice to sit with him and we had a good conversation together. I liked that he asked me all kinds of questions and seemed to care what I had to say. I did learn many things about his life and what he likes. He traveled a lot and loves to go deep sea diving.

We were surprised to find out we grew up so close together. We only lived a few streets from each other. He was in 7th ward while I was in the 9th Ward of Mesa South Stake. We went to Mesa Junior High and Mesa High School together.

We talked about the recent Easter Pageant that I was in. He knew one of the assistant directors who owns JesterZ Improv. It's a comedy club in Mesa, Arizona. We talked about our favorite restaurants and talked about Matta's Mexican Restaurant that we both ate at growing up.

Near the time we left he asked me on a date for that Friday night. To go to JesterZ Improv and eat at Matta's. I happily said yes. I gave him my phone number and he sent me a text the next day. We texted back and forth until our date Friday.

I am so thankful I went to the temple that night and then to Pete's Fish and Chips. I am so thankful to have met the man who swept me off my feet and I am writing this after being married for a little more than six months.

I especially love telling people that we met in the temple. What a dream come true. I wanted to meet a temple worthy man and I did! We had many dates going to either the Mesa Arizona Temple or Gilbert Arizona Temple and once in the Redlands California Temple. We'd go to the Temple and then to dinner.
