Just The Beggining (His Side)

Well the first time I ever saw Nikki I was the ward membership clerk so when I heard that there was a new person in the ward I went and talked to her and got her information and headed off to the office to take care of a few things including filing the information away and as I walked away I thought to myself "hmmm she seems nice... maybe I'll see if she has any attachments..." and during the next few months I would notice that she was really trying to get my attention first this and then that. One thing that really got my attention was that out of the blue she sent me a friend request on myspace when not a single one of my friends were on her friend list. It was quite interesting but I figured that I would humor her and little by little I got to know her through the messages we sent back and forth then after a little while I realized that she was the kind of person I can not only tolerate but that I enjoy to be around. So then eventually came the famous talk which Nikki already talked about and as I sat in church listening to her speak I kept realizing that she kept looking at me. So at that point I decided to ask her out on a date. I figured that I would ask her after church but then when that time came and i saw her, who was there? None other than her mother and sister. Well I felt rather awkward asking someone out like that so I decided that I would wait and I would call her later that afternoon. Well after that as they do say the rest is history. A month later I officially asked Nikki to marry me. I say officially because we had already been talking about getting married for a couple weeks but she told me that I couldn't actually propose until after I had asked Steve. So we arranged for he and I to be alone so that I could talk with him I asked and he gave his permission. That night I asked her because I was so excited. I had had plans to wait until the next night to ask. It just so happened that there was a meteor shower starting that night which I had planned for. So i decided that i would set something up for us so that we could watch that and I would propose but as I have already stated I couldn't wait. It turns out that we wouldn't have been able to watch the shower after all because it was completely overcast and you couldn't see a single star or meteor. Then four and a half months later we were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Mesa AZ Temple.
