How it ALL Began...

Justin and Mitzi met in their first semester at LDS Business College and immediately knew that they were meant to be. After first noticing that they were in three classes together, their attraction grew. Later, Justin took it upon himself to ask Mitzi on a date... and she REFUSED!!

After about two months, she gave in to his persistant invitations and decided to risk it. Their first date consisted of a delicious dinner at Olive Garden, followed by a beautiful walk to the State Capitol through the amazing Temple grounds!

After a long holiday, they acknowledged their love for each other and quickly started seeing each other a little more frequently (aka everyday!). On January 7th Justin asked Mitzi if she would date him. This time... She ACCEPTED! After spending a "few" days together, Justin made a plan with the Business Law teacher, Brother Gardiner, and he proposed in class!

A month and a half later, they were engaged and started planning this wonderful marriage!

Mitzi met the rest of the family in April while attending a birthday barbecue for his cousin Kelsey. After falling in love with the country, the family, and deeper in love with Justin. The plans moved forward!

June 25, 2010 came quicker than we thought it would. A beautiful sealing in the temple ended in tears of joy and excitement for the life to come.The reception was on June 26th at the University of Utah Institute building. Another reception followed July 10th in Missouri at Justin's parents home. They were both beautiful! It is amazing to see how many people love and support us in our decision to move on with our lives.

Time has flown by and we are happy and more in love than either of us imagined! Married life is amazing and the we have eternity to figure it out! Spending our days in Missouri, miles from Utah and home... Justin and Mitzi are enjoying parenthood and life in our own home with our sweet baby Ryker!
