How it all began.......

I had just returned from my mission in Montana Billings and was invited to a get together at the "Curtis Home". This was a well known place where friends would go and hang out and this particular night across the circle sat my angel. I was really interested in the conversation but I have to admit, I was much more taken with that blonde haired beauty who sat across the way. After our discussion, I decided to go and introduce myself to her and eventually ask her out. Now anyone who knows returning missionaries knows that they can be incredibly dorky, in a good spiritual, girls are bad, kind of way. So I was nervous but on that first date it was as if I had known her before. Everything just clicked. It sounds like I should be saying, "And the rest was history..", I don't think so. That next week I had to go up to Utah for school. So for the next year Camille and I would talk randomly over the phone and everytime I came down to Arizona we would hang out.

After my first year at Utah Valley State College, and dating my share of "not Camille's", I came down to my parents for the summer. And of coarse, I hung out with Camille. But this time it really clicked and after dating others I knew exactly what I wanted and that she was the one. Unfortunately, Camille did not know quite yet. So I did the ultimate step into the dark by deciding to stay down in Arizona and going after this blonde beauty. After a lengthy and impatient 2 months having to sell her on me, we were engaged and got married on February 17, 2005. Now, September 26, 2008, we have 2 beautiful boys, Brayden and Logan, live in Maricopa and are happier than ever.

I wanted to make sure and clear up this story since many in the family are under the impression we only knew each other 3 weeks.
