nine years ago.....

to this day I met my best friend, my husband.
Now the only reason I know that it was Feb. 25Th was because it is printed on the picture. We met on a blind date. My friends mom and Jayne McCook were on a chat room and planned a blind date for their kids. They thought they would add a twist and have four of their friend come along. Well I happen to be one of the girls from Corona to go on this date.
I remember thinking.....how are we going to do this?, What if we all like one guy from the group? How do we pair up or know if any are going to be good looking?
We were so nervous that night....at least I was.
And we were rolling high that night too. We started out at Chuck E Cheese.
So the girls got there first. And we watched like a hawk to see when they were coming. (Oh the good old days of the excitement of boys)
As we saw them approach I noticed that one of them had this full on Amish looking beard. Believe it or not that is what attracted me to him. At the age of 18 this guys could grow a full on beard. I love facial hair.
And it sound so cliche, but we have been together since.

Right after high school I moved to Hawaii and opened up a Halloween Store. One in Oahu and the other on the big island. I had this dream of mine to go to Hawaii. I didn't care how or when I was going to Hawaii. Who would of thought that it was to open a Halloween store. So before Landon left on his mission I left for Hawaii. I missed him so much! However, Landon has always seemed to surprise me in some way. So when my mom came out to Hawaii to see me, Landon just happened to be on the plane as well. I had no idea. So we had an amazing two weeks together in Hawaii before his mission. We might have worked a lot. But we had this favorite beach together, and one of these days we will go back.
