courtship at its finest

Jordan and I dated a lot longer than your average "Utah" couple. We met in late January of 2012 and didn't marry until October of 2013. Yes, this was a long time to date but it was perfect for Jordan and I. While we knew we loved each other we still had a few things to figure out on our own. For me, I had to overcome the idea of being a housewife. Anyone who knows me well knew of my intentions to never marry and pursue a career instead. I didn't know and I still don't know why I was so against getting married, but I am sure grateful that Jordan changed my mind.

After our first kiss it was pretty obviously that we enjoyed each others company and we started spending a lot of time together. Dates were both Friday and Saturday nights and we even started seeing each other during the week. (something I never did because I had school work). We had  a lot of fun together and I was slowly falling for this kid.
For spring break we went to Arizona for baseball spring training. It was seriously one of the best weeks of my life. Being with Jordan all day and all night felt so natural and good. We were both super nervous about going on this trip together because if it was a bad week, well that would be the end of us. When we got home dates continued and we spent all of our time together.
Jordan tells me that he fell in love with me a lot sooner than I fell in love with  him. I think he is right, but again going back to my "fear" of marriage and feeling that way for someone.

Throughout the fall, winter and the new year we continued to have adventures. I let my guard down and decided that MAYBE marriage wouldn't be so bad. The talk of marriage between the two of us came up often and it was time to seal the deal. I knew I wanted to marry Jordan, the way I felt about him I have never felt before. I hated going one day without seeing him, how could he not be in my life forever? So after a spring and summer of deciding when we were going to get married. He finally asked me on august 1 2013.

Dating Jordan was so much fun! He isn't like anyone I have ever dated before, but I love it. I love him and I love our story- because its ours.

We have a million pictures from while we were dating, but I didn't want to overwhelm everybody with posting all of them. But I'm sure they will make an appearance on here sooner or later.
