So, here goes! Tom and I met in March of 2006. Tom moved to Cedar City on a Sunday from Salt Lake City, just because, all of the sudden he felt like that's what he should do. It worked out perfectly that his job transfered and he was able to find an apartment on super short notice. I moved down there from SLC as well the following Thursday. I had actually planned to move to St. George earlier so I could be at least closer to Cedar City, because there were no jobs available in Cedar. Well, that didn't work out and all of the sudden there was a job opening! Yay! Just what I wanted! Needless to say I got the job! So, the Wednesday after I moved there our friend Megs called and wanted to go to lunch! I had so many other things to do, but I decided to just go anyways. After lunch we were craving donuts so we went and got some and Megan wanted to take one to her friend "Tom"! When we did, Tom was really flirty, and I told my cousin, Andrea, later that night that I thought he was pretty cute, but nothing would ever happen! A big group of us went to a movie and Megan went and dragged Tom to it, very much against his will! We ended up sitting next to each other and to make a long story short, got my number. The three of us went back to Megs house and talked till like 4 am. Tom texted me at 9am and asked when we were going to hang out! We arranged it for the next night, but it didn't work out cause I wanted to go home and see my family. My parents will get a laugh out of this cause Tom and I were on the phone almost the whole time. The longest we talked was 6 hours and 35 min! While I was in Vegas I talked to my Aunt Gaelynn, who is like my sister, and told her there was this guy I had been talking to on the phone and I really liked him. Well, before I even came home from Vegas, we decided we were dating! I came back to Cedar and went strait to his house. We just hugged when he opened the door and it wasn't nearly as awkward and uncomfortable as it should have been! He was thrown right into the fire when we went to Lance and Gaelynn's house for dinner that night! Gaelynn told my mom he was certainly different than anyone I had ever dated! After that we spent every waking minute together when we weren't working.
When he met my family they loved him, but my mom admitted that he was very different from anyone I have ever dated! We had so much fun! We went to the lake and went to dinner at Beni Hana!
We spent ever day together until we broke up. I was a little confused but needless to say it was the worst 4 days of my life! We ended up getting back together and the next time we were apart was when Tom went with his family to Australia for two whole weeks! They had a lot of fun but I missed him like crazy!
The day he got home I drove up to SLC to surprise him and pick him up from the airport! Then in a quick trip we drove to Las Vegas and all of my family met me there when I went through the temple for the first time! It was such an amazing experience and I am so greatful for all the support I received! In Sptember my Grandpa Thompson was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away 5 weeks later! It was a really hard time for me and I miss him like crazy, but I know he's well, and doing the one thing he didn't have a chance to do in this life...full time missionary work!
The night we got home from his funeral, we were engaged! Right in his mom's front room! It was amazing! It also happened to be Tom's birthday!
We were married for Time and All Eternity in the St. George Temple January 6, 2007! It was such a great day! 
We lived in Cedar for about 6 months and moved to SLC so Tom could go to school! He has decided to be an electrician! He is so great at that kind of stuff! I am working at the hospital here as a RN in the Endoscopy Department. So, there you have it! Our life together up to this point!
