Our Life so far.

Erik and I met November of 06. Yes, it was almost love at first site. Erik was going to school at UVSC and I had just started at Bon Losee. We met at the singles ward. The first thing I ever heard him say was his testimony and he was telling us about a conversation he had had with his mom the night before. He was telling her that he was done dating and would be single the rest of his life. She said to him "Erik if you stop dating now people are going to think you are gay." We all laughed. The next time I saw him was at a pie party. I went with a guy and I didn't really know him, but once I got there I found out he was 30 and I just turned 19. I was kind weirded out. And Erik was there and He was sitting across the room and he saw that we had the same phone. He started to talk to me about my phone telling me that he had a cooler phone cuz he had broken his screen and it was colored all weird. That was the first time we ever talked.

So he never really asked me for my number. We were at a FHE and we were talking about guys asking for girls number and I could tell he wanted mine. But I was not going just give it to him with out working for it so I said "I only give my number to people who ask me for it. So he texted on his phone a really cheesy quote from a move and i cant remember it very well but it was something like, i don't know how to ask you for your phone number. It was lame anyway. So I took his phone and put my number in it. The next 2 weeks we texted all day everyday. My uncle died so I had to go out of town for a week end but I'll we did was text and text. When I came back he asked me to go to the movies with a bunch of people from the singles ward. So I went, we sat by each other wanting to hold hand but no one wanted to make the first move.

The next day we had our ward Christmas party and I met his sister and brother. I kind knew they were family already cuz they were together all the time. Anyway after the party we went back to Becky and Colby's house and watched a movie. Kara a new friend and Erik's brother Daniel came too. She liked Erik too, but he held my hand and she freaked out. That night we had our first kiss.

Tuesday after FHE Erik asked me to stay after and go to Daniels setting apart for his mission. So I went and his family was weird they had weird jokes maybe they just seemed weird cuz I was kinda weirded out just being there. his sister Lisa asked if we were b/f , g/f and at the same time as me Erik said yes and I said no. I was so nervous. After they set him apart we went to the gym where I took there picture. His whole family was there grandmas and grandpa.

After that night we have not dated anyone else. We had lots of fun together. He always made me laugh. We really didn't go out much. We watched so many movies. Life was great.

We had known each other for almost 2 months when we went ring shopping. It was weird to know that I was getting married but it was the best feeling in the world to know that I was going to marry him, the man of my dreams. He is everything I ever wanted in a husband. 2 months later we were so in love that we messed up. I have never been so scared in my life. Erik was so good he told his parents and mine which wasn't easy. We talked to our Bishop and Stake President and set a wedding date. We got married on April 13 07 in The Colonial House in Lehi. It was beautiful. Not the Temple we wanted but was what we earned. We went to Cali. for honeymoon. We had lots of fun. We went to Sea world. And just spent most of the time hanging and watching movies.

We got back and started the real world. We had so many bills. I was going to school, trying to finish it before the baby came and Erik was working for my dad. He hated it but he was doing it for me and our baby. It was a very long summer. I had morning sickness all nine months. Erik was so good to me! At the end of the summer Erik started work at EBC computers. That didn't last long. They lied to him about his pay.

Oct. 29 07 Maddison Jayne Pearson was born in the American Fork Hospital. It was a happy but scary moment knowing that we were going to raise a child. She was a happy baby most of the time. She had Colic.When Maddison was 3 months old I went back to school to finish. It was so hard to leave her. But my mom and Erik's mom took turns watching her.

Erik started working for my dad again. Helping Colby build the car wash in Provo. Colby and Erik did scrap metal together too. They did very well for a while.

May 08 Erik blessed Maddison. Finally after waiting for so long. On June 13 08 We were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a very happy day. I cried allot.

August 08 I finally finished school. 3 days after I finished Maddison started walking. She never really crawled so it was a big surprise. She was 9 months then.

Oct. 08 Erik started working for PC Laptops were he is still working.
Nov.08 We moved to Pleasant Grove from Becky and Colby's basement apartment. We loved living there but it was time to move away from family. So here we are.We still don't have all our stuff moved. Erik's car is stuck over there cuz some of my bright brother pushed alot of snow up behind it. So we only have one car and it makes life hard sometimes.

About a month ago I had a kidney stone so that's what they, the doctor's think. It hurt so bad. I went to the ER and they told me we think its a kidney stone but we can't find it. So we get to pay $2000 for that.
I'm still doing Mary Kay and Hair. Kaylie and I are going to try to sell some of the hair flowers that I make.
