I thought it would be fun to share our stories of how we first met our sweethearts/or how you got engaged in celebration of Valentine’s. If you’d like to share your story, you can post a comment or make a new posting. I’m sure everyone will enjoy getting to know your story better!
Here’s my story of Robert & I:
The very first time I met Bob was at the Singles Ward in Idaho Falls. I actually was dating somebody else at the time, so when I first met him I kind of did the brush off. He knew my roommate from college and she introduced me. It was his first week at church. A few months later I broke up with the guy I was dating, and Bob and I were just friends. We “hung out” with mutual friends for a long time, until I got jealous when I saw him paying attention to other girls at a party one night. Then I realized maybe I liked him more than just a friend.
We got engaged the weekend of Sept.11th, 2001. I remember because it was really sad that week. We went out to eat at a restaurant and they had a moment of silence that was happening nationwide. It had been a long day and week for me at school, so I was tired. But Bob insisted he wanted to drive out to see some lava flow caves out in Arco. I really didn’t want to go, but finally agreed. When we got there, we climbed down into the cave and walked down the cave for a little bit, when Bob said “come here, look at this rock”. He was pointing up at something, and I came over to look but couldn’t see anything. Then he kept saying, “no, look there!” And there was my engagement ring! Of course I said “yes!” I think he had driven all the way out there to the cave earlier that day and planted the ring. He must have been sweating bullets when he thought he couldn’t get me to drive out there that night!
