During conference weekend I met Jeff for dessert. We had become friends on Facebook through a church Facebook group (you join the group and then you get announcements of events for singles like dances, firesides, etc.) By coincidence, we were both in Salt Lake for conference at the same time (he's from Seattle). It was late, so Jeff and I met at the only place we could find open -- the Village Inn. I walked in and sat down across from him. To this day I cannot tell you half of what we talked about; I was too busy being lost in Jeff's eyes, his voice, and his confidence. He was one of the best conversationalists I had ever met and was so dang handsome. How could this guy be single?!? I was getting that dizzy feeling...that feeling that he could "be the one."
And, indeed, after four months of dating that turned out to be the case!
On January 12, 2013, while visiting Jeff in Seattle, he proposed. We were walking around the Seattle Temple and reminiscing about being teenagers and coming to the Seattle Temple for youth baptisms. When we reached the back of the temple, under the sign "Holiness to the Lord, the House of the Lord," Jeff went down on one knee and proposed. He surprised me with the most beautiful ring I had ever seen.
I'm thankful for pie. Funny, I can't even remember what kind of pie I ordered, but I remember those handsome eyes.
