A few months after we graduated from high school, Carl decided to ask Shauna out again, and she accepted. It was Christmastime, and we went to look at the lights at Temple Square. We had such a great time talking and being together, and Carl asked Shauna out again 2 days later. We went ice skating and had a blast. As we were skating, Carl was singing Christmas carols, and Shauna kept pretending to forget the words so that she could listen to Carl sing. It was very fun and romantic.
After that, we started dating regularly, and fell in love with each other quickly. We loved dating, and enjoyed going to movies, to the symphony, to the opera, and just being together. We knew right away we had something special.
We were engaged about a year after dating, and we got married about 6 months after that, in May 1997. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple, and it was such a beautiful day. The sky was so blue, and there were gorgeous tulips everywhere. We have now been married for over 12 years, and we have loved every day of being married. We are best friends, and we love each other so much.
