First kiss location:

• Outside the Washington, D.C. Temple Visitor’s Center. It was Christmas-time and the singing group I was in was performing that night at the Visitor’s Center. My high school boyfriend (although not quite yet) came to watch but I didn’t end up singing because I had a sore throat. We ended up just hanging out the whole time and when we went outside he asked if he could kiss me.
• My first kiss with Nate happened at his apartment right after we finished watching a movie. It was on May 8th and we were engaged less than 2 months later.


Okay, now to tag some people...

I tag Sherrie, Shayla, and Sally (If she evens reads my blog). I'd tag more but I don't really know anybody else that has a blog and hasn't been tagged recently.

This blog is for the non-children related events

Okay, I don't know how often this blog will be updated since so much of our lives are centered around the kids, but we'll see. I hope to find some stories to tell that are more about me and Nate. Hopefully I'll add a real entry soon!
