Blaise and I met in college at the best university in the midwest, I mean world, Mizzou. We became very good friends over watching football games and competing in weekly trivia. I always admired how Blaise could make me laugh and was always such a supportive friend (he stills demonstrates both of those qualities everyday). It wasn't until we were running an errand to the public library in Columbia, MO when I had a realization. I had the most fun with him, doing a simple task, than I have ever had before. It was at this moment that I thought "wait, I think I really like him!" And, I do! After dating in college with lots of sushi dinners, being long distance with lots of phone calls and having "grown up" lives in Utah, we have been through lots of growth, challenges and amazing moments. I could not ask for a better man by my side. I love you, Blaise!

When I first met Grace, I was amazed by how much energy she had. From swimming, running, biking, yoga and keeping a class of 8 year olds in line, she never seems to stop moving. This lends credibility to the statement "opposites attract", as I prefer not to move if I don't have to. She makes friends faster than anyone I've ever met, and I think everyone can agree that this is because of how engaged she is in every conversation. Gracie loves deeper, cares harder, and eats more sugar then any human has any right to. She is thoughtful, smart, beautiful, and way out of my league. I can't wait to start a lifetime of love and happiness with this woman, based on trust and forgiveness. I know she has my back, and I have hers. I am so proud of her and so excited to have a partner with which to face whatever obstacle life throws in our way.
