Jon and I met in 1999. We both had secret far away crushes on eachother but were dating other people.
In 2001 he asked me to a party. I was very excited to go. The party was at his moms old quilting shop. 44 played and a ton of people were there. Jon took me downstairs into the basement and showed me where he found 20,000 dollars when he was 12. As we came back up the stairs, the kid I had previously been dating was standing there looking hurt. I had been in this dark creepy basement with a guy I didn't really know and it did look bad. I left to explain things to the old boyfriend and promised Jon I would be back. Well, I never went back. Old Boyfriend became Boyfriend again.

About six months later I went to church in my cousins ward. Jon's dad was the bishop of that ward and I asked him for Jon's Mission address so I could write him a letter and apologize for ditching him that one night forever ago. We ended up writing for the next year and a half. Getting to know Jon through letters was awesome. I loved it. He got home Jan 2004 and we were really good friends for about six months then dated seriously for a little over a year.
Jon asked me to marry him on my 22nd birthday. He gave me a bouquet of daisies and tied to them was the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. We were engaged for three months and were married November 5th, 2005. Jon is my best friend and I can't wait to spend forever together. I'm a real lucky girl.
