It was 10 years ago this month...

I don't remember the specific date, because at the time I didn't know  the significance of that day.  

I had just graduated from high school, and one of my best friends, Miriam, was attending the LDS Business College in Salt Lake.  There was a dance being held at a church in the avenues, and Miriam invited me and some of our other friends to attend.  I got there, and while visiting with some friends outside, I saw this guy sitting on the stairs.  He had bleached blonde hair, and was wearing dark, 50's style glasses.   And he was grouchy.  Someone had ticked him off earlier in the evening, and he spent the rest of the time of the dance angry.  

Little did I know that a little more than a year later, I would be married to that grouchy guy!  I don't think I actually spoke to him at that dance, but I did get to know him afterwards.    He was so fun to be around.  For awhile, he was dating Melanie, the person who ticked him off the night of the dance.  She was a friend from high school, who also attended LDSBC.  They were even engaged for a short time.  But, luckily for me,(and for Melanie, she later found someone else) it didn't work out.  :)   Seven months after the night I first saw Jordan, we were dating.  Five months later we were engaged, and two months after that we were married.  

I'm so grateful for the turn of events that brought Jordan to Utah, and Miriam to LDSBC.  I am a lucky girl.  :)
